“…6 Aging involves the progressive deterioration of physiological function and fertility, which is accompanied by an increased susceptibility to death. [7][8][9] The rate of dying through life includes distinct parameters: the initial mortality rate (indicative of an individual's physiology and environment challenges), the rate of exponential increase in mortality (internal aging process) and then age-dependent mortality. 7,10 Thus, a survival curve follows three distinct stages: (a) low rate of dying in early ages, (b) a high rate of dying in median ages, followed by (c) a low rate of dying in Abbreviations: ASD, autism spectrum disorders; CC, central complex; cVA, cis-vaccenyl acetate; DA, dopamine; dSO, Drosophila stress odorant; MB, mushroom bod (y)ies; piRNA, piwi-associated RNA.…”
