The morphology, architecture,vasculature, and cognition of the brain are known tochange as the organism ages. Oxidative stressplays a crucial role in the aging of the brain. Theeffects of oxidative stress include mitochondrialdysfunction, protein modification, membrane lipidperoxidation, nuclear DNA oxidation, and mitochondrial and mitochondrial DNA oxidation.These effects hasten brain aging, neuronal loss, andcognitive impairment. Cognitive ability, long-termmemory, and dementia are improved by CR andIF, which are beneficial for brain andneurodegenerative illnesses.
