Le trouble de voisinage survient lorsque, dans l'exercice de son droit de propriété, un propriétaire fait subir des inconvénients anormaux ou intolérables à son voisin. Cette situation s'oppose à tout autre droit dont un propriétaire d'immeuble peut être titulaire ou bénéficiaire, parce que, de l'opinion de la doctrine, les actes entrant dans le domaine de la liberté individuelle ne relèvent pas des troubles de voisinage.

OBS

Aux termes de l'article 976 du Code civil du Québec, les voisins sont tenus d'accepter les inconvénients normaux du voisinage qui n'excèdent pas les limites de la tolérance qu'ils se doivent, suivant la nature ou la situation de leurs fonds, ou suivant les usages locaux.

Until recently, brain aging, and everything that entails, from the annoying inconveniences of age-related memory loss to more serious conditions like Alzheimer's and dementia, was equated with neuron failure....

Le vieillissement du cerveau, comme celui de tout autre organe, est un phénomène naturel; cependant, il apparaît aujourd'hui possible de retarder, ralentir, voire empêcher les effets de l'âge sur les fonctions intellectuelles.
