Accelerated aging syndromes, are they relevant to normal human aging?
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria (HGPS) and Werner syndromes are diseases that clinically resemble some aspects of accelerated aging. HGPS is caused by mutations in theLMNA gene resulting in post-translational processing defects that trigger Progeria in children. Werner syndrome, arising from mutations in the WRN helicase gene, causes premature aging in young adults. What are the molecular mechanism...
متن کاملMotor and cognitive changes in normal aging
In a recent study, Cid-Fernandez et al. (2014) tested attentional performance in 3 age groups: young (21–29 years old), middle-aged (51–64 years old), and older adults (65–84 years old). The task used in this study involved presenting both visual and auditory cues to the participants, and they were required to pay attention to the visual cues while ignoring the auditory cues (for task details, ...
متن کاملCognitive plasticity in normal and pathological aging
The main goal of the present study is to examine to what extent age and cognitive impairment contribute to learning performance (cognitive plasticity, cognitive modifiability, or learning potential). To address this question, participants coming from four studies (Longitudinal Study of Active Aging, age range, 55-75 years, N = 458; Longitudinal Study in the very old [90+], age range, 90-102, N ...
متن کاملNormal aging and cognitive impairment revisited.
In psychogeriatrics, clinicians are often confronted with the problem of whether a patient’s clinical disorder is associated with an organic brain syndrome. Such pathological cerebral changes and the associated impairments are often very difficult to distinguish from “normal,” nonpathological changes. Everyone has to cope with some limitations in old age. Having to cope with changes in social p...
متن کاملSocial-cognitive deficits in normal aging.
A sizeable number of studies have implicated the default network (e.g., medial prefrontal and parietal cortices) in tasks that require participants to infer the mental states of others (i.e., to mentalize). Parallel research has demonstrated that default network function declines over the lifespan, suggesting that older adults may show impairments in social-cognitive tasks that require mentaliz...
