Abstract
Toothless crones can go both ways in literature, as either wise or wizened. The Journal of Dental Research published a meta-analysis linking tooth loss to memory decline, sparking fresh interest in the mouth–brain connection. (Several cranial nerves probably explain some of this connection, thinks A Fo Ben). The researchers found that individuals with significant tooth loss had poorer memory and were more likely to experience cognitive decline compared to those with healthy dentition. This raises the fascinating question: could keeping your teeth …
在文学作品中,没牙的老太太可以是聪明的,也可以是睿智的。牙科研究杂志》(Journal of Dental Research)发表了一项荟萃分析,将牙齿脱落与记忆力衰退联系起来,引发了人们对口腔与大脑联系的新兴趣。(A Fo Ben 认为,几条颅神经可能是这种联系的部分原因)。研究人员发现,与牙齿健康的人相比,牙齿严重脱落的人记忆力较差,更容易出现认知能力下降。这就提出了一个引人入胜的问题:保持牙齿健康会不会...
期刊介绍:
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
