CHAPTER

Ketogenic Diets and Metabolic Interventions for Cognitive Resilience in Aging

The chapter explores the speaker's work on ketogenic diets and metabolic interventions for cognitive resilience in aging, highlighting their focus on mechanistic factors such as network connections, brain energy metabolism, and neuropharmacology. They discuss studies on the effects of ketogenic diets on aged animals and brain circuitry, as well as their research on time-restricted feeding and cognitive decline. The chapter also touches on the vulnerability of different regions of the hippocampus with aging and the potential decline in adult neurogenesis, along with translatability of rodent behavioral tests in identifying age-related cognitive impairments and their correlation to human cognitive function.
