Time after Time: Environmental Influences on the Aging Brain
نویسنده
چکیده
A growing body of evidence suggests that neurological function in the elderly can be affected by exposures from years earlier. In some cases, contaminants stored in the body are released over time as a function of processes such as pregnancy and aging. In others, damage may occur with no evidence of effects until old age. Clockwise from top left:

متن کاملEffect of short time captopril administration on spatial memory in aging rats.
Introduction: The brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been reported having a pathological role in age-related impairment in learning and memory. Therefore, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) are expected to have positive effects on memory. Longtime treatment with captopril (an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor) significantly attenuates the age-related impairment in learn...
