Obesity and Brain Function

The textbook "Obesity and Brain Function" offers a comprehensive analysis of the relationships between obesity and brain function. It highlights the molecular mechanisms and risk factors of neurological disorders influenced by obesity. Additionally, it discusses the impact of bariatric surgery on brain function and the application of functional neuroimaging techniques in obesity research. Despite the growing research on obesity, the influence on brain function and the development of neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases remains a often overlooked topic. The subjects covered include the biology of adipose tissue, the axis between adipose tissue, the gut, and the brain, energy metabolism processes in the brain, as well as diseases such as dementia, cerebrovascular diseases, and multiple sclerosis.
