Your Neighborhood May Increase Your Risk of Dementia

The process of brain aging is distinguished by a gradual deterioration in the functioning of neurons, which can be attributed to an imbalance in the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing synaptic plasticity. Synapses are enriched with various lipid species including phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, sphingolipids, and some other less abundant components. Those components are altered in aging brain, could affect brain functions, including structural development, nerve-impulse transmission, neurogenesis, synaptogenesis and myelin formation. Dietary phospholipid intervention could prevent brain aging by maintaining lipid homeostasis and enhancing synaptic plasticity.
