This volume discusses the current state of research findings related to healthy brain aging by integrating human clinical studies and translational research in animal models. Several chapters offer a unique overview of successful aging, age-related cognitive decline and its associated structural and functional brain changes, as well as how these changes are influenced by reproductive aging. Insights provided by preclinical studies in mouse models and advanced neuroimaging techniques in humans are also presented. This volume provides topics that will be useful to researchers, cliniciansand students interested in the current knowledge and research challenges in neurobiological perspectives in aging as well as future research directions in aging research. Written by leading authorities in this field. With numerous illustrations. INDICE: From the contents: Preface. Part 1. Epidemiologic perspective in aging. Part 2. Cognitive and emotional perspectives in aging. Part 3. Reproductive aging. Part 4. Medical and psychiatric factors in aging. Part 5. Modifiersof brain aging.
