**Preface to "Gluten-Related Disorders: Time to Move from Gut to Brain"**

As guest editors of this theme, we aimed to concentrate on neurological aspects of coeliac disease (CD) and gluten sensitivity (GS), an increasingly important but poorly recognized area. The articles presented here cover a wide spectrum, including neuropathology, psychiatric manifestations, interactions with other extraintestinal manifestations (dermatitis herpetiformis), overlap between CD/GS and stiff person syndrome, what we know about autism and gluten sensitivity, and the increasingly important area of cognitive deficits in CD and GS. Furthermore, one article addresses the important issue of follow-up in the context of monitoring both clinically and serologically, highlighting that such an approach is essential in the prevention of permanent neurological disability. This collection also includes a neurophysiological study in an attempt to unravel the pathophysiology of neurological dysfunction in CD and GS. These articles build up on numerous previous publications on the subject, many by the editors and authors involved in this publication. This book should be used alongside previous publications that cover manifestations such as gluten ataxia, gluten neuropathy, and gluten encephalopathy. We hope that this book will stimulate interest in the field and encourage further research in an area that merits further consideration.
