A report from researchers at the University of North Carolina discusses the impact of lifestyle choices, diet, and aging on cognitive function and the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The study highlights how certain life experiences, such as seizures, neurotoxin exposures, metabolic disorders, and traumatic events, can negatively affect brain health and increase the risk of dementia. The researchers also explore the role of exercise and diet in promoting brain health and reducing cognitive deficits. The study emphasizes the importance of proteostasis, the process of maintaining protein balance, and synaptic integrity in preventing age-related dementias. [Extracted from the article] |
