Mechanisms of neuroplasticity and brain degeneration: strategies for protection during the aging process
Open accessAbstract
Aging is a dynamic and progressive process that begins at conception and continues until death. This process leads to a decrease in homeostasis and morphological, biochemical and psychological changes, increasing the individual's vulnerability to various diseases. The growth in the number of aging populations has increased the prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases, impairment of the central nervous system and dementias, such as Alzheimer's disease, whose main risk factor is age, leading to an increase of the number of individuals who need daily support for life activities. Some theories about aging suggest it is caused by an increase of cellular senescence and reactive oxygen species, which leads to inflammation, oxidation, cell membrane damage and consequently neuronal death. Also, mitochondrial mutations, which are generated throughout the aging process, can lead to changes in energy production, deficiencies in electron transport and apoptosis induction that can result in decreased function. Additionally, increasing cellular senescence and the release of proinflammatory cytokines can cause irreversible damage to neuronal cells. Recent reports point to the importance of changing lifestyle by increasing physical exercise, improving nutrition and environmental enrichment to activate neuroprotective defense mechanisms. Therefore, this review aims to address the latest information about the different mechanisms related to neuroplasticity and neuronal death and to provide strategies that can improve neuroprotection and decrease the neurodegeneration caused by aging and environmental stressors.

According to the maladaptive synaptoplasticity hypothesis, amyloid plaques, tau pathology, and synaptic loss are not independent triggers but downstream consequences of aberrant plasticity driven by genetic and environmental risk factors.
“According to this view, the hallmark features of AD, amyloid plaques, tau pathology, and synaptic loss are not independent triggers, but rather downstream consequences of aberrant plasticity driven by genetic and environmental risk factors [80, 81].”
From Toward a Unified Framework in Molecular Neurobiology of Alzheimer’s Disease: Revisiting the Pathophysiological Hypotheses (2026) · cites this paper as [80]
In “Neuroplasticity and Cell Survival” (page unavailable), the paper says high densities of amyloid plaques induce changes in NMDA receptors involved in synaptic plasticity—the reverse of the claimed direction from aberrant plasticity to plaques. Its introduction mentions genetic and environmental contributions to neurodegenerative disease, but it does not present plaques, tau pathology, and synaptic loss as downstream consequences of aberrant plasticity. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe maladaptive synaptoplasticity hypothesis proposes that the initiating event in AD is an abnormal synaptic plasticity response, whereby excessive or dysfunctional remodeling in evolutionarily vulnerable postsynaptic neurons drives the cascade of pathological changes.

The Neuroplasticity and Cell Survival section discusses presynaptic signaling, while the Cell senescence, neurodegeneration and neuroprotection section links tau phosphorylation to cellular toxicity. Neither passage says that reduced presynaptic input initiates responses that lead to neurofibrillary tangles. Searches for that causal sequence and for neurofibrillary tangles found no supporting passage in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
