Brendan Vermeire – MASTERING Neuroinflammation and Neuroplasticity

Neuroinflammation & Neuroplasticity

• Research has clearly demonstrated that Inflammation and Excitotoxicity are the driving forces behind Mental Illness and Neurodegeneration.

• The ‘Neurotrophic Hypothesis of Depression’ has become the leading theory in Mental Health Research.

• Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Neuroplasticity are crucial factors in the healing of the Central Nervous System.

• Microglia, the residential immune cells of the CNS, have become the focal point of Mental Health Research due to their crucial role in regulating the neuroinflammatory and excitotoxic cascade, while profoundly impacting Neuroplasticity.

• ‘Microglial Activation Syndrome’ is the common underlying ‘root cause’ in Mental Illness and Neurodegeneration.
