Home/ Scientific Sessions / Biology of Aging Conference
Aging is the organic process by which the body gradually loses strength and the capacity to perform optimally with time. It impacts fundamental body functions essential for survival and reproduction. Unlike some diseases such as cancer or cardiac ailments, aging occurs to all living organisms. One way to comprehend aging is through an increased mortality risk as the individual or animal ages.
- Some well-known theories describing aging are:
- Neuroendocrine Theory – hormonal changes influence aging
- Free Radical Theory – toxic molecules damage cells over time
- Membrane Theory – cell membranes deteriorate and impact body function
- Decline Theory – functions of the body gradually weaken
- Cross-Linking Theory – proteins in the body bond together and lead to aging
Neurogenesis
Neurogenesis refers to the formation of new nerve cells, known as neurons, in the nervous system and brain. It begins with special cells known as neural stem cells. The process occurs in nearly all animals apart from simple ones such as sponges.
There are two primary kinds:
Developmental neurogenesis – occurs prior to birth when the brain is developing
Adult neurogenesis – remains in some brain areas even after birth, assisting in learning and memory
