Aging of the brain can stop now

The fading memory can be reversibly. Biologists at the University of Portsmouth have received the award in the amount of 600,000 pounds for the research on the aging brain, writes Daily Mail. Researchers in these funds will continue to study the properties of proteins such as Kir 4.1 and Gas6. These proteins are responsible for coding the oligodendrocyte cells that form myelin - the natural membrane of nerve fibers. With age, the body produces less of these cells, leading to disruptions in the supply of information from the organs to the brain and between nerve cells."Lowering the development of oligodendrocytes reduces the rate of recovery of white matter responsible for the cognitive function of the brain. Suffers and the hippocampus, "- says Professor Arthur Butt.The researchers hope that the new information will help develop therapies for multiple sclerosis, as well as early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
