Among the repercussions of mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation emerges as a prominent concern, eliciting an upsurge in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The deleterious effects of these ROS on nerve cells induce a cascade toward neurodegeneration. This chapter comprehensively delves into the adverse implications of mitochondrial dysfunction on the advancement of diverse neurological ailments, with particular emphasis on the pivotal role of neuroinflammation.en-USBiosciencesBook chapter
