Abstract: The etiology of neurodegenerative disorders is multifactorial and consists of an interaction between aging, environmental factors, and genetic predisposition. Neuronal cell loss in specific regions of the central nervous system and the resulting clinical symptoms are used to characterize different neurological syndromes. While the selectivity of neuronal cell death is not clearly understood, it is in part attributed to the physiological role and microenvironment of the impacted cells…

Inflammasomes in neuroinflammation and changes in brain function: a focused review
TLDR
An array of recent research suggests that NLRP inflammasomes targeted therapies could be used for alleviating neuroinflammation and for treatment of associated psychiatric illnesses, although this still remains a challenge and necessitates further extensive research.

    Nutrition in clinical practice : official publication of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition

TLDR
Both pharmaceutic and nutrition interventions for treating chronic neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease or multiple sclerosis, will be focused on reducing or terminating the chronic inflammatory response.
Environmental factors in the development and progression of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease
TLDR
It is proposed that environmental factors play a significant role in the development of LOAD through multiple pathological mechanisms.
Aging, Immunity, and Neuroinflammation: The Modulatory Potential of Nutrition
TLDR
This chapter discusses possible deleterious influences of immunosenescence and low-grade inflammation (inflammaging) on neurodegenerative processes in the normally aging brain, and considers the current understanding of the modulatory potential of nutrition that may mediate anti-inflammatory effects and thus positively affect immunity and the aging brain.
The role of inflammation in CNS injury and disease
TLDR
The complex interplay between inflammatory mediators, ageing, genetic background, and environmental factors may ultimately regulate the outcome of acute CNS injury and progression of chronic neurodegeneration, and be critical for development of effective therapies for CNS diseases.
Contribution of neuroinflammation and immunity to brain aging and the mitigating effects of physical and cognitive interventions
Guard of Delinquency? A Role of Microglia in Inflammatory Neurodegenerative Diseases of the CNS
TLDR
Modulation of microglial activation appears to be a promising new therapeutic target to identify potential therapeutic targets for clinical intervention to promote repair.
Vaccines, depression, and neurodegeneration after age 50 years: another reason to avoid the recommended vaccines
TLDR
This paper demonstrates the known links between: systemic immune activation, brain microglial activation, and both major depressive disorder and a worsening of neurodegenerative diseases.
Selective Oestrogen Receptor Modulators Decrease the Inflammatory Response of Glial Cells
TLDR
Treatment with tamoxifen and raloxifene resulted in a significant reduction of the number of reactive astrocytes in the hippocampus of young, middle‐aged and older female rats after a stab wound injury, suggesting that oestrogenic compounds are candidates to counteract brain inflammation under neurodegenerative conditions by targeting the production and release of pro‐inflammatory molecules by glial cells.

Exacerbation of Motor Neuron Disease by Chronic Stimulation of Innate Immunity in a Mouse Model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
TLDR
The effects of acute and chronic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are addressed in a genetic model of neurodegeneration to provide solid evidence that environmental factors and innate immunity can cooperate to influence the course of disease of an inherited neuropathology.
Parkinson's disease and exposure to infectious agents and pesticides and the occurrence of brain injuries: role of neuroinflammation.
TLDR
Deciphering the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing those intricate interactions would significantly advance the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of PD and aid the development of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of the disease.

Glucocorticoids Play a Fundamental Role in Protecting the Brain during Innate Immune Response
TLDR
It is shown that activation of this system is not detrimental for the brain but a profound neurodegeneration takes place in animals treated with the glucocorticoid receptor inhibitor Mifepristone (RU486).
Amyloid β-peptide stimulates nitric oxide production in astrocytes through an NFκB-dependent mechanism
TLDR
This demonstration of how Aβ couples an intracellular signal transduction pathway involving NFκB to a potentially neurotoxic response provides a key mechanistic link between Aβ and the generation of oxidative damage.
Distinct Role for Microglia in Rotenone-Induced Degeneration of Dopaminergic Neurons
TLDR
This is the first report demonstrating that microglia play a pivotal role in rotenone-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, and should advance the understanding of the mechanism of action for pesticides in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.

Chronic exposure to aluminum in drinking water increases inflammatory parameters selectively in the brain
TLDR
Al exposure may not be sufficient to cause abnormal production of the principal component of senile plaques directly but does exacerbate underlying events associated with brain aging and thus could contribute to progression of neurodegeneration.
