Neuroimaging in aging: brain maintenance
Neuroimaging studies of the aging brain provide support that the strongest predictor of preserved memory and cognition in older age is brain maintenance, or relative lack of brain pathology. Evidence for brain maintenance comes from different levels of examination, but up to now relatively few studies have used a longitudinal design. Examining factors that promote brain maintenance in aging is ...
متن کاملHIV-1 Tat promotes premature brain aging
Background It is estimated that by 2015, about half of all HIV-positive individuals will be older than 50 due to the introduction of the HAART. Yet those over 50 progress to AIDS faster than adults in their 20s or 30s, and those in the younger age bracket still exhibit illnesses and clinical conditions commonly associated with older people, such as HIVassociated neurocognitive disorders (HAND),...
متن کاملFunctional Neuroimaging Studies of Aging and Emotion 1 RUNNING HEAD: Functional Neuroimaging Studies of Aging and Emotion Functional Neuroimaging Studies of Aging and Emotion: Fronto-Amygdalar Differences during Emotional Perception and Episodic Memory
Emotional processes are enhanced in aging, such that aging is characterized by superior emotional regulation. This article provides a brief review of the neural bases supporting this effect with a focus on functional neuroimaging studies of perception and episodic memory. The most consistent finding across these studies is that older adults show an alteration in the recruitment of the amygdala,...
متن کاملA Simple and Rapid Method for the Detection of HIV-1/HCV in Co-Infected Patients
Background: Due to some limitations of serological methods in diagnosis of patients infected with HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus) and HCV (hepatitis C virus), it is profoundly important to use molecular methods for the detecting of these infectious agents. However, the most significant problems are the exorbitant cost of these methods and the need of a thermocycler which is an expensive...
