Abstract

Aging is the predominant risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, yet the mechanisms linking biological aging to selective neuronal degeneration remain incompletely understood. Accumulating evidence indicates that aging progressively disrupts epigenetic regulation, manifested as increased epigenetic noise in DNA methylation, histone modifications, and chromatin accessibility, which undermines transcriptional precision and the stability of neuronal identity. Recent advances in single-cell and spatial epigenomics further suggest that these age-associated epigenetic alterations are not merely correlative but can actively shape neuronal vulnerability across brain regions and cell types. In this review, we synthesize emerging evidence showing how epigenetic noise contributes to selective neurodegeneration across Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington's disease, and discuss emerging strategies aimed at stabilizing the aging neuronal epigenome.
