Neuroscience is a complex and important part of human physiology as it governs all the important actions of life. The complexity of the brain makes it challenging, yet interesting, to decode its information through different mechanistic approaches. Scientists and researchers always remain curious in finding out new avenues related to neuroscience. The main purpose of this book is to bring all relevant and current advancements occurring in the field of neurobiology and neurosciences under a single window that covers wider horizons of the subject. The book contains topics related to subjects like neuro-epigenetics, neuro-informatics, neurotoxicity, neurolaw, neuro-dental issues, neuro-transcriptomics, neuro-nanotechnology and more that focus on the current trends of neurosciences. Nearly all current aspects of neurosciences are covered in this book, which makes it a unique and comprehensive compilation. Chapter One defines different aspects of neuroinformatics; Chapter Two signifies the ongoing trends related to bioinformatics in the field of neurosciences; Chapter Three speaks about neurotoxicity; Chapter Four is a landmark in defining the computational approaches that can be used for the identification of novel biomarkers for neurological disorders; Chapter Five describes in detail about the role of miRNA in neurobiology; Chapter Six illustrates in detail the application of epigenetics in neurological disorders; Chapter Seven covers the details of the therapies that are used for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases; Chapter Eight is confined to Alzheimer’s disease and its mitophagy, autophagy and angiogenesis; Chapter Nine discusses the role of neuro-nanotechnology in neurosurgery; Chapter Ten depicts the dental care that should be given to patients who are suffering from neurological diseases; Chapter Eleven signifies the current trends that are prevalent in the field of oral neurosciences; and Chapter Twelve is focused on the legal perspectives of neuroscience, that is, neurolaw. Therefore, the coverage of subject in relation to the current trends is quite wide and the book covers a holistic approach in linearity with its title and content.
