A biological explanation for memory deficits in aging includes a postmortem examination of five brains of elderly people with better memory than average. These people are called the "super aged," and it was found that these individuals had fewer fiber-like tangles of tau protein than in typical elderly brains.
Treatments with anticancer chemotherapeutic agents often are toxic to the cells of the brain, leading to memory loss and cognitive dysfunction that can persist long after the period of exposure. This condition, termed chemo brain, appears to be due to DNA damages that cause epigenetic changes in the brain that accelerate the brain aging process ...
Since life extension is only pertinent if accompanied by health span extension, and, more importantly, by preserving brain health and cognition, finding rejuvenating approaches that act simultaneously in peripheral tissues and in brain function is a key strategy for development of rejuvenating technology.
“SuperAgers,” people in their 80s with brains as sharp as those in the 40s and 50s, are more active and in better mental shape than typical older adults, study says. Study finds more clues as ...
“Our brains are experiencing unprecedented levels of stimulation through constant notifications, social media and digital engagement," Sophia Spencer, a social psychology and mental health ...
Research suggests that using the Internet helps boost brain power for middle-aged and older people [17] (research on younger people has not been done). The study compares brain activity when the subjects were reading and when the subjects were surfing the Internet. It found that Internet surfing uses much more brain activity than reading does.
The research raises questions about the role of diet in aging and brain health. Researchers have discovered a potential mechanism underpinning the improvements seen in aging male mice on ketogenic ...
