Functional Genomics of Brain Aging and Alzheimers Disease: Focus on Selective Neuronal Vulnerability
16 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
Pivotal brain functions, such as neurotransmission, cognition, and memory, decline with advancing age and, especially, in neurodegenerative conditions associated with aging, such as Alzheimers disease (AD). Yet, deterioration in structure and function of the nervous system during aging or in AD is not uniform throughout the brain. Selective neuronal vulnerability (SNV) is a general but sometimes overlooked...
