Hypersexuality is a worldwide phenomenon and a worrisome issue for our time. Studies with neurobiological biomarkers of hypersexuality are in their onset, recounting findings basically from a single group of researchers from the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, who found dysfunctions in the Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Adrenal (HHA) axis and in the Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Gonadal (HHG) axis of…
As the life expectancy of individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) increases, they exhibit dementia-related aging associated with the development of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), partly because the amyloid precursor protein (APP), which plays a crucial role in AD pathogenesis, is located on chromosome 21-the same chromosome affected by trisomy in DS. Consequently, the overexpression of the APP gen…
The life expectancy of people with Down's Syndrome has increased considerably in recent decades. However, due to increased life expectancy and genetic factors associated with the syndrome, which promote premature aging, individuals in this population are more susceptible to the early development of illnesses similar to those present in the elderly, such as dementia, especially Alzheimer's…
Ageing is a natural process associated with structural and functional neurobiological changes which, linked to increasing age, can become dysfunctional. Interest in the health care of the elderly is due to the fact that they are the fastest growing demographic group and are the most exposed to chronic diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases associated with dementia. Around 70% of dem…
The world population undergoes a process of demographic transition, in which the elderly population has been increasing. This increases the incidence of numerous diseases, for example cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric diseases. Among these neuropsychiatric diseases, Alzheimer's disease deserves special attention because, according to US government data, between 1999 and 2014, the deaths…
The prevalence and incidence of dementia, a syndrome characterized by cognitive decline that affects social or occupational functions, has been increasing in recent years. Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, has a prevalence of 10-30% in the population over 65 years. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), an intermediate state of cognitive function between normality and…
