As the Brain Ages, Glial-Cell Gene Expression Changes Most
Ashley P TaylorCurriculums:
Neurodegenerative diseases are often associated with aging. To learn what happens within the aging brain and potentially gain information relevant to human health, researchers examined the gene - expression patterns in postmortem brain samples. Overall, the researchers found, gene expression of glial cells changed more with age than did with neurons. These gene- expression changes were most significant in the hippocampus and substania nigra, regions damaged in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
