Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is collected in the walls of blood vessels‚ which can cause blockages and cerebral amyloidosis if the LDL level becomes higher. Since many patients with cerebral

Aging in the brain is a complex process that involves several systems and structures. Normal aging not only shows a decreased activity in neurotransmission‚ but also is a major risk factor for the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Dysfunction of the central noradrenergic and dopaminergic systems is one of the biological characteristics of aging‚ which may contribute to changes in cognitive and motor functions in aged persons. Furthermore‚ aging-dependent norepinephrine (NE) loss occurs earlier
