Significant improvements in lifestyle and medical science are
leading to an ever increasing elderly population in the United
States and other developed nations. The U.S census bureau estimates
that the number of people over 65 will nearly double by 2030, and
that the elderly will comprise nearly one-fifth of the world's
entire population within the next 20 years. In Animal Models of
Human Cognitive Aging, Jennifer Bizon, Alisa Woods, and a panel of
international authorities comprehensively discuss the use of animal
models as a tool for understanding cognitive changes associated
with the aging process. The book provides substantive background on
the newest and most widely used animal models in studies of
cognition and aging, while detailing the normal and pathological
processes of brain aging of humans in relation to those models.
Additional chapters comprehensively review frontal cortical
deficits and executive function in primates as related to humans,
and the use of transgenic modulation in mice to model Alzheimer's
and other age-related diseases. Groundbreaking and authoritative,
Animal Models of Human Cognitive Aging provides a valuable resource
for Neuroscientists, Gerontological Scientists and all aging
medicine researchers, while serving as a primer for understanding
current brain aging studies.
