Research Abstract |
Research focuses on the role of environmental factors in the initiation or potentiation of neurodegenerative diseases. In this context the emphasis is on the contribution of inflammatory events to neural aging. The potential slowing of brain aging by antioxidants and antiinflammatory agents such as melatonin, is also under investigation. Such retardation could reduce the incidence of specific age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. | |
