Summary
Age is a major risk factor for most common neurodegenerative diseases, including Mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, cerebrovascular disease, Parkinson’s disease and Lou Gehrig’s disease.
While much research has focused on diseases of aging, there are, at the presen time,few informative studies on the molecular biology of the aging brain. Research does suggest that the aging process is associated with several structural, chemical, and functional changes in the brain as well as a host of neurocognitive changes.
