摘要
This article reviews the current thoughts on the effects of aging on the brain. Mechanisms of neurodegeneration are discussed, particularly those associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Strategies of early detection of presymptomatic disease and potential future treatments are explored. Modification of risk factors and lifestyles for disease prevention is discussed.
