[Neurophysins, vasopressin and cognitive function in aging].

J J Legros, P Gilot, I Mormont

    Acta Psychiatrica Belgica
    |July 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Neurophysins, including vasopressin, are found throughout the brain, influencing cognition and emotion. Early aging may decrease vasopressin, and supplementation might aid memory and arousal, though its role needs further study.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Endocrinology

    Context:

    • Neurophysins, vasopressin, and oxytocin extend beyond the hypothalamo-neuropituitary system.
    • These peptides are present in various brain regions, modulating cognitive and emotional functions, and cardiovascular regulation.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the role of vasopressin in cognitive function during early aging.
    • To explore the potential therapeutic effects of exogenous vasopressin for age-related cognitive decline.

    Summary:

    • A decrease in hypothalamic and brain vasopressin content is observed during early aging.
    • Exogenous vasopressin may enhance arousal and memory in individuals with central vasopressinergic deficits.

    Impact:

    • Understanding vasopressin's function in aging brains can inform new therapeutic strategies.
    • Further research is needed to define vasopressin's precise role in treating early aging cognitive deficits.
