Neurobiology of Aging Lecture #4: Aging and Neurodegenerative Disorders; AD, PD, ALS, and FTD.
In this lecture I describe how changes occurring in the brain during normal aging set contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia. Cellular and molecular hallmarks of aging predispose brain cells to neurodegenerative orders with environmental and genetic factors determining if and when the disease manifests.
