摘要

The neuronal tissue is notable for its unique regulation of the immune system, response to DNA damage, endurance against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and control of inflammatory pathways. Here, I discuss some uniqueness of the brain’s aging process in light of the free radical theory of aging, DNA-damage accumulation, inflammaging, and aging as a consequence of a programmed developmental process. Key points include (i) the resilience of the neuronal tissue to oxidative stress; (ii) the neuron’s efficiency in repairing learning-induced DNA damage, even with fewer repair pathways than other cell types; (iii) TLR9 and NFκB at the intersection of memory and inflammation; (iv) RELA linking the skin-brain axis during development, DNA damage response, and pro-inflammatory control; (v) PARP1 at the crossroad of all discussed aging theories. Data points to a “burden threshold” where the beneficial regulations of distinct pathways shift toward neurotoxic activities.
