Diet, lifestyle influences chances of age-related brain disorders: Study
Hindustan TimesThe scientists at the Allen Institute for Brain Science have identified the molecular changes that occur in the brains of ageing mice and located a hot spot where most damage is centralized. Scientists at the Allen Institute have identified specific cell types in the brains of mice that undergo major changes as they age, along with a specific hot spot where many of those changes occur. Diet, lifestyle and brain ageing: Through this study, scientists discovered a possible connection between diet, lifestyle factors, brain ageing, and changes that can influence our susceptibility to age-related brain disorders. To conduct the study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, researchers used cutting-edge single-cell RNA sequencing and advanced brain-mapping tools developed through NIH's THE BRAIN Initiative to map over 1.2 million brain cells from young and aged mice across 16 broad brain regions.
