Neural Protein Synthesis during Aging: Effects on Plasticity and Memory
During aging, many experience a decline in cognitive function that includes memory loss. The encoding of long-term memories depends on new protein synthesis, and this is also reduced during aging. Thus, it is possible that changes in the regulation of protein synthesis contribute to the memory impairments observed in older animals. Several lines of evidence support this hypothesis. For instance...
متن کاملNeural plasticity underlying visual perceptual learning in aging.
Healthy aging is associated with a decline in basic perceptual abilities, as well as higher-level cognitive functions such as working memory. In a recent perceptual training study using moving sweeps of Gabor stimuli, Berry et al. (2010) observed that older adults significantly improved discrimination abilities on the most challenging perceptual tasks that presented paired sweeps at rapid rates...
متن کاملBrain plasticity, sleep and aging.
The link between sleep and aging is a hot topic of research. On the one hand, much attention has been paid to epidemiological studies showing that both short sleep and long sleep in humans are associated with reduced longevity. I will briefly review this literature and discuss recent experiments in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster that may contribute to understanding this complicated assoc...
متن کاملMusic and Neural Plasticity
This chapter reviews material on the effects of music training on the brain. The review is framed within the broader theoretical context of neuroplasticity and experience, as well as the relationship between behaviour and brain structure and function. It presents a comprehensive account of studies that have investigated differences in the brains and behaviour of musicians compared with non-musi...
متن کاملNeural Plasticity and Consciousness
Neural plasticity has, despite a growing interest in neuroscience over the last decades, received little interest in consciousness research. This might be because neural plasticity has no clear and strict definition; it is used to describe the ability of neuronal tissue to adjust activities and physical characteristics in order to adapt to changes in the environment or changes in their use – in...
