Age-related changes in sleep in the rat.
Human sleep in old age is characterized by a number of changes, including reductions in sleep efficiency, amounts of visually scored slow-wave and REM sleep, and amplitude of the diurnal sleep/wake rhythm. In older rats, some, but not all, of these traits have been reported, including a decrease in the mean duration of sleep bouts, an increase in the number of sleep bouts, and a modest reductio...
متن کاملAge-related changes in rat retina.
PURPOSE To describe the changes in rat retina occurring with ageing by means of histological methods, scanning electron microscopic observations and morphometrical data; and to study by means of biochemical methods the amount of protein content in retinal tissues. METHODS Samples of fresh retinal tissue obtained from young, adult, and aged rats were studied by means of traditional histologica...
متن کاملAge-related changes in auditory temporal processing in the rat.
Presbycusis, as the deterioration of hearing ability occurring with aging, can be manifested not only in a shift of hearing thresholds, but also in a deterioration of the temporal processing of acoustical signals, which may in elderly people result in degraded speech comprehension. In this study we assessed the age-related changes in the temporal processing of acoustical signals in the auditory...
متن کاملTreating age-related changes in somatotrophic hormones, sleep, and cognition
Many of the body's systems that function to maintain optimal health and well-being decline with advancing age. Aerobic capacity, muscle mass, and strength all progressively decline. Significant sleep disturbances are associated with increases in morbidity and mortality. Cognition declines, impacting an older individual's ability to function independently. Interventions that could at least stabi...
متن کاملAge-Related Sleep Changes and its Implication in Neurodegenerative Diseases.
In the article authors discuss the current data on sleep changes with aging focusing on the influence of age-related degenerative changes in orexin-containing and pacemaker brain areas. Pathophysiological mechanisms of sleep disturbances in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases have much in common with normal age neurophysiological changes. Maintenance of the sleep-promoting systems function cou...
