Physiology of aging: from plasticity to cognitive consequences
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.34024/rnc.2021.v29.12447Keywords:
Aging, cognition, senescence, senility, brain plasticityAbstract
This present article was a literature review of the main concepts, aspects and findings related to the human aging process; it was seeking to synthesize important themes through the search for recent studies in the area. In addition, the article focuses on the discussion of issues associated with the pathophysiology of the Central Nervous System, cognitive function and the respective consequences resulting from both healthy and pathological aging, which in the latter case can negatively affect autonomy and independence, as well as quality of life for the elderly. Finally, the present work addresses strategies that aim to prevent cognitive function declines.
