- Authors
Miksys, S. L.; Tyndale, R. F.
- Abstract
The author reflects on the neurodegenerative diseases Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. He argues that many risk factors for age-related cognitive decline overlap with one of the neurodegenerative diseases including obesity and lack of physical activity. He states that normal aging also shares many features including synaptic loss and reduction in brain white matter. He suggests that the therapies for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases should be improved.
