DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The loss of cognitive function with normal aging is well known and while clearly different from the catastrophic loss of memory seen in Alzheimer's disease and the other age-related dementias, is of concern to an increasing number of Americans. This application seeks support to recruit an outstanding junior faculty member to the Taub Institute at Columbia University to study the normal aging process in either the animal or the human brain. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: An understanding of the mechanisms of normal aging in the brain is critical if we are to slow cognitive decline in our aging population. It will enable us to understand the factors that lead to accelerated cognitive decline and dementia.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着正常衰老认知功能的丧失是众所周知的，虽然与阿尔茨海默病和其他年龄相关性痴呆中所见的记忆的灾难性丧失明显不同，但越来越多的美国人关注这一点。本申请寻求支持，以招募一名优秀的初级教员到哥伦比亚大学陶布研究所研究动物或人类大脑的正常衰老过程。 公共卫生关系：如果我们要减缓老龄人口的认知能力下降，那么了解大脑正常衰老的机制至关重要。它将使我们能够了解导致认知能力加速下降和痴呆症的因素。
