The PPARalpha agonist fenofibrate preserves hippocampal neurogenesis and inhibits microglial activation after whole-brain irradiation.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Whole-brain irradiation (WBI) leads to cognitive impairment months to years after radiation. Numerous studies suggest that decreased hippocampal neurogenesis and microglial activation are involved in the pathogenesis of WBI-induced brain ... Read more...

The effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on the number of cerebral microemboli and the incidence of cognitive dysfunction after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) can be a debilitating complication after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Cerebral microemboli during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are believed to be an important etiologic factor of ... Read more...

Factors associated with cognition in adults: the Seattle Longitudinal Study.

29 Sep 2009 A better understanding of factors that affect cognition could lead to improved health and greater independence for older adults. We examined the association of four modifiable factors (leisure-time physical activity, leisure-time cognitive activity, ... Read more...
