Legal Blindness

Nowadays there is no treatment option except antioxidant support which decelerates the progression of dry-type age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) which is one of the most common reasons for legal blindness in elderly people. Promising outcomes have been obtained with stem cell treatment and gene therapy in dry-type ARMD in the recent studies which are done in the light of the advanced bioengineering developments. In addition, very rapid advances have been developing related to the retinal prosthesis implantation which is performed to regain their functional vision in end-stage ARMD patients.

High Level

Language processing in older adulthood is a model of balance between preservation and decline. Despite widespread changes to physiological mechanisms supporting perception and cognition, older adults’ language abilities are frequently well preserved. At the same time, the neural systems engaged to achieve this high level of success change, and individual differences in neural organization appear to differentiate between more and less successful performers. This chapter reviews anatomical and cognitive changes that occur in aging and popular frameworks for age-related changes in brain function, followed by an examination of how these principles play out in the context of language comprehension and production.
