Heavy Metal Toxicity and Neurodegeneration delves into the intricate relationship between heavy metals and neurodegenerative diseases. It synthesizes and presents the latest research findings, shedding light on the mechanisms by which heavy metals cause neuronal damage and contribute to disease progression. By integrating various perspectives and collating diverse studies, this book serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the profound impact of heavy metals on neurological health. In addition to detailing the mechanisms involved, the book highlights the importance of early detection and preventive measures.

It caters to researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and students, offering a comprehensive and accessible overview that bridges the gap between theory and practical application. This scholarly work is poised to inform and guide future research and policy decisions in the field of neurodegenerative disease.

Dr. Prasann Kumar, assistant professor cum research intensive faculty in the Department of Agronomy, School of Agricultural (ICAR-Accredited), Lovely Professional University, Punjab, specializes in stress physiology, plant tissue culture, physiology of plant?microbe/pathogen interaction, and biodiversity management. Dr. Kumar has completed the International Agricultural Rural Development Programme from Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, United States. He has received a doctorate from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. He also has authored 40 books published by national and international publishers, which find a place in national as well as various Overseas Institutions’ libraries. He has guided 19 MSc students for their thesis. 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.
