About this Research Topic
A decline in the neurosensory and cognitive performance with age has taken the center stage of research as the aging population increases worldwide. While much of the aging population ages gracefully, age-related neurosensory and cognitive diseases limit the quality of life in a sizable proportion of these individuals.
Goal: This research topic aims to explore the current understanding of neuro-aging affecting the sensory and cognitive function and shed light on some of the deepest mysteries of aging. We seek to gather Original Research, Case series and Review articles evaluating the molecular and cellular understanding of the premature aging of the neurosensory and cognitive function affecting all sensory organs such as the eyes, ears, nose and tactile stimulation, and age-related cognitive decline such as dementia and Alzheimer diseases, as well as its therapeutic perspectives. These articles may cover the basic theoretical studies as well as its clinical applications in both animal and human models.
Scope: Potential topics include, but not limited to:
1. Next generation sequencing to understand the pathology in sensorineural and cognitive pathologies.
2. Stem cell-based studies in sensorineural and cognitive aging diseases
3. Genetic studies on sensorineural and cognitive aging diseases
4. Identification of biomarkers for neuro-aging
5. Dynamic interaction of molecules and pharmacological agents for treatment of sensorineural and cognitive aging diseases
6. Development of animal models for pharmacological studies on neuro-aging
7. Bio-informatic studies for delineating neurocognitive and neurosensory diseases.
