Turning Back the Clock on Neurodegeneration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Does neuronal loss associated with dementia necessarily impair the ability to learn new information and recall old memories? In a recent report in Nature, Fischer et al. (2007) show that the ability to learn and remember can be reestablished in a mouse model of dementia through either environmental enrichment or chronic treatment with an inhibitor of histone deacetylase.

متن کاملHuman Evolution: Turning Back the Clock
The timing of human evolution can be inferred from DNA sequence comparisons, but this requires an accurate estimate of the mutation rate. While recent data suggested a lower rate and a longer timeline, a new study reinstates the previous timeline.
متن کاملHigh-speed All- Optical Time Division Multiplexed Node
In future high-speed self-routing photonic networks based on all-optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) it is highly desirable to carry out packet switching, clock recovery and demultplexing in the optical domain in order to avoid the bottleneck due to the optoelectronics conversion. In this paper we propose a self-routing OTDM node structure composed of an all-optical router and demultiplex...
متن کاملMeasurement of Bed Turning and Comparison with Age, Gender, and Body Mass Index in a Healthy Population: Application of a Novel Mobility Detection System
We developed a mobility detection system to analyze pressure changes over time during side-turns in 29 healthy volunteers (17 males and 12 females) with a mean age of 46.1 ± 19.64 years (ranging from 23 to 86 years) in order to determine the effect of gender, age, and BMI on performance during bed postural change. Center of gravity (COG) location, peak pressure of counteraction, and time to rea...
متن کاملCircadian clock proteins regulate neuronal redox homeostasis and neurodegeneration.
Brain aging is associated with diminished circadian clock output and decreased expression of the core clock proteins, which regulate many aspects of cellular biochemistry and metabolism. The genes encoding clock proteins are expressed throughout the brain, though it is unknown whether these proteins modulate brain homeostasis. We observed that deletion of circadian clock transcriptional activat...
