About this Research Topic
Aging can be related to healthy and pathological processes. It is important to try to establish strategies that will contribute to the promotion of healthy aging, favoring the quality of life in older adults. In this context, non-pharmacological interventions are of great importance because they can be considered as minimally invasive, effective and have a low-cost. Therefore, it is relevant to the development of research to understand more about the responses associated with non-pharmacological intervention in this population. To improve comprehension about the mechanisms involved in the healthy and the pathological aging process, research involving physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, cytology, computer science and mathematical modeling are welcome. Translational research, clinical trials and other design of studies have been proposed to describe the action mechanisms involved with various clinical impairments and diseases related to aging. Furthermore, strategies that can be used to prevent undesirable conditions and that study the effects of non-pharmacological interventions to improve the functionality, the body composition, the behavior aspects, and the quality of life of the individuals are important. The understanding about the function of neurological systems and mechanisms involved in the prevention of diseases and the impairments related to normal aging can favor health promotion. It is expected that the improvements that would be promoted in older people through non-pharmacological interventions can prevent, or treat, the frailty and disabilities that are common in these individuals that are related to the cited disturbances.
The aim of this Research Topic is to publish original papers and reviews describing the mechanism involved in neurological disorders and/or strategies to prevent these disorders that can be used in the management of neurological commitment considering non-pharmacological interventions in the aging of healthy individuals and in diseases related to the aging process. The focus of this Research Topic is to present data that can develop a better understanding regarding neuroscience aspects related to health promotion and neurological disorders related to aging, promoting clinical practice based on evidence.
Contributions that address, but are not limited to, the following Topics cover, are welcomed:
1. Translational research in neuroscience related to health promotion and/or related to the aging process
2. Clinical trials and other human studies involving non-pharmacological approaches in neuroscience related to the aging process
3. Behavioral approaches involving health promotion and/or aging
4. Early treatment in neurological diseases
5. Nutritional approaches involving health promotion and/or aging
6. Strategies to prevent neurological disorders due to aging and impairments due to aging
7. Neuroscience of rehabilitation related to the aging process
8. Computer science and mathematical modeling applied to health promotion and/or conditions related to the aging process
9. Neuroscience approaches to health promotion or in the management of aging conditions
10. Influence of mechanical vibration and physical activities in the neurological system and related impairments in the normal aging and diseases related to the aging
