Using POCS Method of Problem

... These sites accept only one kind of chemical. For the nerve signal to pass on, the neurotransmitter must be the right chemical that fits, or “unlocks”, the receptor site. If the neurotransmitter fits, it changes the chemistry of the receiving nerve’s membrane (skin). This starts off the electrical c ...

Aging brain

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 few informative studies on the molecular biology of the aging brain (usually spelled ageing brain in British English) in the absence of neurodegenerative disease or the neuropsychological profile of healthy older adults. However, 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. Recent reports in model organisms suggest that as organisms age, there are distinct changes in the expression of genes at the single neuron level. This page is devoted to reviewing the changes associated with healthy aging.
