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.

Kanta Horie, PhD, works with a mass spectrometer that he uses to measure protein levels in cerebrospinal fluid samples. Horie and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Lund University in Sweden have discovered that a form of the protein tau in the cerebrospinal fluid known as MTBR-tau243 can be used to track the progression of Alzheimer's disease and could speed drug development.
