Brain cholesterol in normal and pathological aging.
Correct lipid homeostasis at the plasma membrane is essential for cell survival and performance. These are critically challenged in the aging brain. Changes in the levels of cholesterol, a major membrane component especially enriched in neurons, accompany the brain aging process. They also occur in neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding the causes and consequences of these changes is a cruci...
متن کاملPathological aging of the brain
The distinction between normal vs. pathologic brain aging is not as clear cut as one might think. The prevalence of various pathologic findings that are causally linked to dementia increases with age, for example neurofibrillary tangles, amyloid plaques, and cerebro vascular disease. What makes the notion of distinguishing pathological from normal brain aging difficult is the fact that the same...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of normal and pathological aging
We have recently defined nine molecular and cellular hallmarks that represent common denominators of aging in different organisms. These hallmarks are: genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, deregulated nutrient-sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and altered intercellular communication. On the other hand...
متن کاملNormal Aging of the brain
With the increase of the mean age of our populations, neurodegenerative diseases are becoming more and more important. This is also true for the early diagnosis of neurodegeneration and to allow for an early therapeutic intervention since degenerative diseases begin long before the patient experiences any symptoms. It can be months or years before clinical symptoms become obvious. Imaging with ...
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 ...
