Review demonstrates curcumin's role in improving cognitive function in aging, suggesting it as a potential epigenetic agent for neurodegenerative disorders.
Key Points
Curcumin enhances neuroplasticity, which is critical for cognitive function in aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
It modulates epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modifications to support cognitive resilience.
Curcumin influences neurogenesis and synaptic remodeling, which are essential for maintaining brain health.
Challenges remain in optimizing curcumin's bioavailability for effective therapeutic use in cognitive enhancement.
