_Factors Affecting Neurological Aging: Genetics, Neurology, Behavior, and Diet_ is a comprehensive reference on the genetic and behavioral features associated with neurological aging and associated disorders. This book discusses the mechanisms underlying neurological aging and provides readers with a detailed introduction to the aging of neural connections and complexities in biological circuitries, as well as the physiological, behavioral, molecular, and cellular features of neurological aging. Finally, this comprehensive resource examines the use of animal modeling of aging and neurological disease. * Provides the most comprehensive coverage on a broad range of topics related to the neuroscience of aging * Features sections on the genetic components that influence aging and diseases of aging * Focuses on neurological diseases and conditions linked to aging, environmental factors and clinical recommendations * Includes more than 500 illustrations and tables
