_Neurobiology of Aging: Exploring Cognitive Decline and
Neurodegeneration_ is a comprehensive reference exploring the
complexities of the aging brain. This book examines the intricate
processes driving cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. From the
gradual loss of neurons and synapses to the formation of protein
aggregates characteristic of Alzheimer's disease, each chapter reviews
key aspects of brain aging. Chapters dissect the mechanisms driving
neuronal loss, synaptic dysfunction, and protein misfolding, shedding
light on the intricate interplay of oxidative stress, inflammation,
and mitochondrial dysfunction. This book also navigates through
strategies for healthy brain aging, from the impact of diet and
exercise to the role of cognitive stimulation.
* Reviews the complex interplay of various molecular, cellular, and
systemic processes that contribute to cognitive decline and
neurodegeneration
* Discusses genetic influences on aging and neurodegenerative
diseases
* Outlines various therapeutic approaches to age-related cognitive
decline and neurodegenerative diseases
