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）：正常衰老的认知功能的丧失是众所周知的，虽然与阿尔茨海默氏病和其他与年龄相关的痴呆症中的灾难性丧失记忆力丧失，但对美国人的数量却引起了人们的关注。该申请寻求支持，以招募杰出的初级教师到哥伦比亚大学的陶布研究所，以研究动物或人脑的正常衰老过程。 公共卫生相关性：如果我们要减慢年龄人口的认知能力下降，对大脑正常衰老机制的理解至关重要。它将使我们能够理解导致认知能力下降和痴呆症的因素。
