Zusammenfassung

Kognitionseinschränkungen im Alter sind auf nachlassende Neurogenese zurückzuführen und stehen unter epigenetischer Kontrolle. In Prävention und Therapie stellt neben Maßnahmen der Lebensführung insbesondere das Neurosteroid-Replacement eine erfolgversprechende Option dar.

Schlüsselwörter

Alter - Neurogenese - epigenetische Kontrolle - Kognition - Umgebungsreize - Neurosteroidhormone - Pregnenolon - DHEA - Progesteron - Replacement
