About this Research Topic
Neurological diseases are complex disorders influenced by a combination of genetic predispositions and environmental factors. Research has shown that the interaction between genes and environmental factors, such as lifestyle, diet, and exposure to toxins, plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of these diseases. Understanding these interactions can provide deeper insights into disease mechanisms, potentially leading to more effective prevention strategies and therapeutic interventions. Despite advancements in genetic research, the dynamic interplay between genes and the environment remains a significant challenge in the study of neurological diseases.
The goal of this Research Topic is to highlight research seeking to elucidate the many interactions between genetic factors and environmental influences in the development and progression of neurological diseases. By addressing this complex relationship, the work of these studies aims to uncover the mechanisms behind the outcomes of these interactions, and to identify potential targets for intervention. Contributions to this Research Topic should focus on the following areas:
- Identifying genetic susceptibilities to environmental factors in neurological diseases.
- Investigating how environmental exposures modify gene expression and contribute to disease pathogenesis.
- Exploring the role of epigenetics in mediating gene-environment interactions.
- Developing and validating animal and cellular models to study gene-environment interactions.
- Assessing the impact of lifestyle and behavioral interventions on gene expression and disease outcomes.
By addressing these areas, the studies published in this collection will foster a comprehensive understanding of how genes and the environment interact. Ultimately the outcomes of these studies will lead to improved strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological diseases.
This Research Topic welcomes contributions that explore the multifaceted interactions between genetic and environmental factors in neurological diseases. We encourage submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
- Genetic predispositions and environmental triggers in neurological diseases
- Mechanisms of gene-environment interactions in neurodegenerative diseases
- Epigenetic modifications and their role in neurological disorders
- Environmental influences on gene expression and disease progression
- Development and use of models to study gene-environment interactions
- Impact of lifestyle and environmental interventions on neurological health
We are interested in receiving original research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, and perspectives on these themes. Submissions featuring multidisciplinary collaborations and the use of innovative techniques are particularly encouraged.
