  2. Aging brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aging_brain

    The brain is very complex, and is composed of many different areas and types of tissue, or matter. The different functions of different tissues in the brain may be more or less susceptible to age-induced changes. [6] The brain matter can be broadly classified as either grey matter, or white matter.

  3. Neuroscience of aging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_aging

    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 ...

  4. Memory and aging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_and_aging

    Unfortunately, it is hard to provide a solid link between the shrinking brain and memory loss due to not knowing exactly which area of the brain has shrunk and what the importance of that area truly is in the aging process (Baddeley, Anderson, & Eysenck, 2015) Attempting to recall information or a situation that has happened can be very ...

    An aging-associated disease (commonly termed age-related disease, ARD) is a disease that is most often seen with increasing frequency with increasing senescence. They are essentially complications of senescence, distinguished from the aging process itself because all adult animals age ( with rare exceptions ) but not all adult animals ...

  8. Ageing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageing

    Ageing (or aging in American English) is the process of becoming older. The term refers mainly to humans , many other animals , and fungi, whereas for example, bacteria, perennial plants and some simple animals are potentially biologically immortal . [ 1 ]

  9. Memory disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_disorder

    Also indicated by the aging brain are learning and memory impairments. [14] While changes to the BBB are not a cause of impairment to cognitive functions alone research suggests that there is a relationship. Another impairment which is indicative of brain aging and the breakdown of the BBB is the accretion of iron. [14]
