Biology of Aging and Neurogenesis
Processes, changes, speed, stages, and complications of aging are the concerned areas of the Biology of Aging. Neurogenesis studies the birth of new neurons. These two fields combined help us understand how aging affects cognitive health and how we can improve that.
Key concepts :
✔️ Cellular aging – DNA damage
✔️ Organs changes
✔️ Cognition decline
Neurogenesis and its areas of research :
– The new generation of neurons in the brain takes place in the Hippocampus which affects the learning abilities and memory of our brain.
– Understanding how the formation of neurons declines with age.
– Research, studies, and treatments to enhance neurogenesis.
