Neuroecological links of the exposome and One Health

Agustin Ibanez et al. Neuron. .

Abstract

This NeuroView assesses the interplay among exposome, One Health, and brain capital in health and disease. Physical and social exposomes affect brain health, and green brain skills are required for environmental health strategies. Ibanez et al. address current gaps and strategies needed in research, policy, and technology, offering a road map for stakeholders.

Figure 1.. Brain-environmental interactions and One Health.
The figure illustrates a framework connecting the exposome, One Health, and brain capital. The left panel displays the exposome, encompassing both physical and social dimensions. The exposome impacts the One Health approach (center panel), highlighting the links between brain, body, animal, and environmental Health. The brain capital (right panel) emphasizes the bipartite components of the internal exposome and green skills for envisioning critical actions to improve One Health.
