A new review was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as “Aging (Albany NY)” and “Aging-US” by Web of Science), on October 29, 2024, Volume 16, Issue 20, titled, ”Brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease, a perspective from non-human primates.“
In the review, Ferrer Isidro from the University of Barcelona and Reial Acadèmia de Medicina de Catalunya, explores the differences in brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease between humans and their closest evolutionary relatives, such as chimpanzees, baboons, and macaques. The study highlights that while humans are uniquely susceptible to severe cognitive decline and memory loss caused by Alzheimer’s disease, non-human primates typically experience only mild changes as they age.
