Title: Hemodynamic correlates of aging: an optical imaging study.

Abstract:

Abstract: Aging, hypertension, and Alzheimer diseases (AD) are major determinants of cognitive impairment. Although only certain aspects of cognitive function are affected in normal aging, age remain powerful risk factor for the cognitive decline caused by hypertension and AD. In this work, the effect of aging on hemodynamic signals in an animal model of healthy aging, the Lou/C rat, is described. Multispectral intrinsic optical imaging combined with speckle contrast imaging is shown to provide estimates of various hemodynamic and metabolic parameters enabling to study their changes with age. We then describe how optical techniques may be used to perform similar work in humans as well as associated challenges.
