The Epigenetics of Aging: Understanding neurodegeneration at the gene transcription level
Over the past century, life expectancy has doubled. Consider for a moment the impact of this factoid on our interpretation of the aging brain. Prior to the 20thcentury – indeed, throughout nearly all of history – there was likely no evolutionary pressure for humans to live beyond reproductive age...
Novel PET Radiotracer Offers Possible ‘Smell Test’ for Dementia
Olfactory health – how well we are able to smell – is a reliable marker of the health of the brain, but the “smell identification tests” commonly used in studies of olfactory health do not offer a complete picture of what is happening. Now, using a novel PET radiotracer called Neuroflux, a team o...
