Mitochondria, Metabolism, and Neurodevelopmental Disorders

The chapter explores how mitochondria and metabolism play a critical role in neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and autism spectrum. It emphasizes the impact of deficits in metabolism and mitochondrial function on lifelong challenges and discusses the potential for enhancing neuroplasticity to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, it touches on the relationship between dementia, metabolic compromise, and mitochondrial theory, highlighting the importance of early metabolic approaches in potentially reversing cognitive decline.
