About the Book

The latest volume in our Advances in Alzheimer's Disease book series – brought to you by the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease – is a remarkable compilation of research that explores the complex role of the microbiome in Alzheimer’s disease. The microbiome is a critical and often overlooked aspect of immunity, which in turn plays a role in cognition. The book presents current research into the gut microbiota and its far-reaching impacts on cognitive function and neurodegeneration.

About the Guest Editor

Giulio M. Pasinetti, MD, PhD is the Chief of the Brain Institute Center of Excellence for Novel Approaches to Neurodiagnostics and Neurotherapeutics, and the Saunders Family Chair and Professor in Neurology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He is also a JAD Senior Editor. Dr. Pasinetti’s research on lifestyle factors and metabolic co-morbidities, including diabetes, influencing clinical dementia, neurodegeneration ,and Alzheimer’s disease, has made him an expert in his field.

Preface Extract:

Handbook of Microbiome and Gut-Brain-Axis in Alzheimer’s Disease

Preface (Openly Available) by Giulio M. Pasinetti, MD, PhD

"Research in the gut microbiota field has been rapidly evolving over the past decade. Despite being confined to the gastrointestinal tract, the impact of the gut microbiota biology on human physiology is extremely broad. The gut microbiota itself forms a powerful endocrine organ with a unique metabolome that supplements the host’s biochemistry beyond what it is designed to provide for itself: a perfect symbiotic relationship! These metabolites, and the breadth of gut microbiota cells themselves, interact with, and/or transverse the protective gut epithelial barrier influencing several physiological systems including the immune system, metabolism, neurological signaling and perhaps the most unexpectedly, the brain, giving rise to the gut-brain-axis.

Collectively, this handbook contains four broad sections, each covering a pertinent research area pertaining to the overall literature on the gut-brain-axis and its relationship with cognitive functioning and AD. We hope that future research will be able to cohesively build upon the current foundation of rigorous studies by developing innovative and novel approaches that will progress our understanding of these complex, multi-variable biological mechanisms, particularly in the context of cognitive functioning and AD."
