This book comprehensively reviews the relationship between micronutrients and brain in health and diseases. It explains the relationship between micronutrients and brain functions, neurogenesis, and cognitive functions. The book also explores the relationship between micronutrients and brain disorders including depression, epilepsy, PD, and Autism. It further explores the recent advancements in understanding the important role of micronutrients as therapeutics in various brain disorders like TBI and AD. Lastly, it presents an overview of micronutrients as neuroprotective agents along with the main principles of nutrigenomics.

Toshihide Yamashita is the Osaka University Distinguished Professor and the head of the Department of Molecular Neuroscience and the Department of Neuro-Medical Science, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka University. He graduated from Osaka University Medical School in 1990 and had clinical training as a neurosurgeon. His research has focused on restoration and regeneration of the injured or degenerated central nervous system (CNS). In 2005, he received Ameritec Prize (USA), which was awarded in recognition of a specific, significant accomplishment in medical research toward functional recovery from spinal cord injury. The Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences (JSPS) Prize (2011), Osaka Science Prize (2012), and Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (2014) were awarded to him for his discovery of molecular mechanisms regulating the regeneration and plasticity of injured CNS. He has published more than two hundred international original research papers. He is now developing humanized antibody that targets one of the axon growth inhibitors in collaboration with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma, and is carrying out the clinical trial for spinal cord injury.
