A new study suggests that the human brain Gradually and straight line does not ageBut it happens Aging At different times of life. Published in the ‘BNAS’ science magazine, the brain image data analysis of over 19,300 people over the age of 18 to 90 is based on the analysis.
When explaining the results, the researchers write: “The brain networks are not only a lifeline, but these changes have a non -linear course. As for them, the human brain experiences About 44 years of rapid aging processAlready 67, the process is very serious, but finally, the age of about 90 is confirmed.
Lack of energy in brain cells after 40 years
Previously, some investigations suggested that the age process may be relevant Decrease in the required energy Send neurological messages in the brain. Innovations suggest that this energy drop is probably related to the start of about 40 years Insulin.
After this age, brain cells continue to work, but more insulin levels are required Regulate blood sugar. “For this reason, the supply of alternative fuel supply will help improve the function of the brain during this subtle period,” says Professor Mojika Barodi, a prominent supervisor of the study and professor of Stony Brooke University.
This fuel can be supplied with ketones, which have been introduced as a potential security agent in this study. Stony Brook University says ketones Brainster Those neurons can be consumed without insulin.
The belief of a treatment for Alzheimers
In a test conducted in the same study, researchers examined the effect of ketones compared to glucose. The results show that ketones They ended up to confirm the degraded brain networks. These findings may set the foundations for new approaches to prevent the cognitive decline caused by increased age, as well as diseases that damage brain cells, Like Alzheimer.
“This is a fundamental change in our attitude Prevent the brain aging“The main researcher of the study, Bodwant Antal, says, instead of waiting until the signs of cognitive decline appear, we can identify those who are at risk by neuromethopolic markers and interfere with the same sensitivity period.”
