關於這本電子書

"Heavy Metal Toxicity and Neurodegeneration" offers an in-depth exploration of the relationship between heavy metal toxicity and neurodegenerative diseases. This volume aims to synthesize and present the latest research findings in neurodegenerative research, and clarify the mechanisms through which heavy metals contribute to neuronal damage and disease progression. By collating diverse studies and integrating various perspectives, the book will provide a comprehensive overview that is both accessible and informative. This resource is intended for researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and students who seek a thorough understanding of the impact of heavy metals on neurological health.• Provides a comprehensive overview of how heavy metals interact with biological systems, particularly the nervous system• Explains the mechanisms through which metals contribute to neurodegenerative diseases• Highlights the public health implications of heavy metal exposure, including its impact on vulnerable populations such as children and older people

Dr. Gogia is a Post-Doctoral Associate at Yale. Having completed her PhD degree at the University of Dayton, and Cornell University’s International Agriculture and Rural Development Program (IARD) she was awarded the Gerald L. Willis Award of Excellence for Outstanding Teaching in 2019. Her current work focuses on understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying polyglutamine diseases, namely the identification and validation of genetic modifiers which can serve as potential therapeutic targets and can ameliorate the onset or progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
