A research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to investigate how different diet compositions affect brain aging and cognition in middle-aged nonhuman primates, with implications for human health.
Description
This project studies the impact of Mediterranean versus Western diet on cognitive function, imaging, and fluid biomarkers in middle-aged male and female cynomolgus monkeys over 32 months to understand how diet influences brain aging and neurodegenerative disease risk.
