Some well-known age-related neurological diseases include
Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, deafness, and blindness.
Even more common are the problems of aging which are not due to
disease but to more subtle impairments in neurobiological systems,
including impairments in vision, memory loss, muscle weakening, and
loss of reproductive functions, changes in body weight, and
sleeplessness. As the average age of our society increases,
diseases of aging continue to become more common, and conditions
associated with aging need more attention by doctors and
researchers. In 1991, patients over the age of 65 saw their doctors
an average of eight times per year. Research funding is provided by
the Neuroscience and Neuropsychology of Aging (NNA) Program, which
is run by the National Institute on Aging. This book offers a
comprehensive overview of all topics related to functional
impairments which are related to the aging brain and nervous
system. It is organized according to four general functions:
movement, senses, memory, and neuroendocrine regulation. Written by
the leading researchers in the field, this comprehensive work
addresses both impairments associated with diseases and not
associated with diseases, making it easier to understand the
mechanisms involved. Functional Neurobiology of Aging is an
important reference for professionals and students involved in
aging research, as well as physicians who need to recognize and
understand age-related impairments.
