PSYC 405 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Catastrophe Theory, Mutation, Dna Replication
Document Summary
Any study done with mri can have errors related to how brain scans are analyzed. In particular, when researchers use group comparisons between younger and older brains, results may not be accurate. This is because there is much variability between the brains of younger and older adults and within samples of older adults. Body wears out because of life stress. However, regular physical activity is good for the body. Individuals with arthritis told the exercise to reduce pain and inflammation of joints. Aging caused by changes or mutations in dna in vital organs. Certain genes cease to operate or switch off, this causes aging. Parkinson"s disease might be caused by a gene that turns of at a certain point in the lifespan. Aging caused by damage to rna, enzymes, certain proteins rather than errors in dna. Scientists believe that certain proteins are involved in. Certain molecules in cells have violent reaction to presence of oxygen.
