Abstract

Environmental neurology represents a burgeoning field at the intersection of neuroscience, environmental health, and public policy. This abstract provides an overview of environmental neurology, exploring the intricate relationship between environmental exposures and the neurological well-being of individuals. The examination encompasses various environmental factors, their impact on the nervous system, and the implications for human health. Environmental neurology investigates the influence of environmental elements on neurological development, function, and disorders. Key components of this overview include the exploration of neurotoxicants, pollutants, and other environmental stressors that have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, cognitive decline, and neurodegenerative diseases. The abstract also delves into the pathways through which environmental factors exert their effects on the nervous system, considering mechanisms such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and disruption of neurodevelopmental processes. Understanding these pathways is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate the impact of environmental exposures on neurological health. The implications of environmental neurology extend to diverse populations, with a focus on vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing neurological conditions. The abstract discusses the importance of risk assessment, early intervention, and public health policies in safeguarding neurological well-being in the face of environmental challenges. Furthermore, the abstract highlights the role of research methodologies, biomonitoring, and epidemiological studies in advancing our understanding of the intricate interplay between the environment and the nervous system. Integrating multidisciplinary approaches is essential for unraveling complex relationships and identifying strategies to promote neurological resilience in the face of environmental stressors. As environmental concerns become increasingly prevalent, the abstract underscores the urgency of addressing environmental neurology in the context of global health.
