The prevalence of neurodegenerative disease and the increase in sedentary lifestyles causes concerns for societies health. There is an established link between the microbiota, diet, lifestyle, and brain health; thus, there is evidence that these are factors in the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. The biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease are seen in models of metabolic disorders and multiple studies have found a relationship between lifestyle and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and ALS. Further, tailored diets have been shown to decrease the hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases.
In recent years, there has been growing interest and major advances in this field. In this research Topic, Frontiers aims to highlight studies that bridge the gap between lifestyle and neurodegenerative disease. We also welcome contributions that look into the future and define the directions that the field will take in the coming years. What have been the key discoveries so far? What are the most pressing matters that need to be addressed? Where is the link between lifestyle and neurodegeneration going to take us in the coming years?
We particularly welcome submission of Original Research, Review, Mini-review, Methods, and Perspective articles on the following sub-topics:
• The use of probiotics, prebiotic, or synbiotic approaches to tackle the development of a-synucleinopathies and other neurodegenerative diseases
• Metabolic alterations in the brain contributing to neurodegenerative diseases
• Utilizing physical activity/exercise to combat the progression of neurodegenerative diseases
• The impact of different diets, obesity, and insulin resistance on neurodegenerative Disease
• Systemic factors that impact the development of neurodegenerative disease
