Neurobiology of aging examines the biological and molecular changes in the nervous system that occur over time, leading to cognitive decline, reduced plasticity, and increased vulnerability to neurodegenerative diseases. It aims to uncover the mechanisms that distinguish healthy aging from pathological processes such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

The Neurobiology of Aging session explores how cellular stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired protein homeostasis contribute to age-related decline in brain function. Researchers discuss strategies to preserve neuronal health and cognitive resilience throughout life.

At the Neurobiology of Aging Conference, neuroscientists, biogerontologists, and clinicians present studies on oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and synaptic loss associated with aging. Topics also include the roles of genetics, metabolism, and lifestyle in modulating brain longevity.

This session provides a bridge between basic neuroscience and geriatric medicine, emphasizing early biomarkers, interventions, and neuroprotective therapies. It also highlights how exercise, diet, and sleep influence neural maintenance and cognitive vitality.

Recent developments in Cognitive Decline research have identified molecular pathways that can be targeted to slow or reverse age-related functional loss, offering hope for healthy brain aging.
