The relationship between nicotinic receptors and cognitive functioning in healthy aging: An in vivo positron emission tomography (PET) study with 2-[(18)F]fluoro-A-85380.

30 Aug 2009 Extensive experimental and neuropathological evidence supports the general hypothesis that decline in the basal forebrain cholinergic system contributes significantly to age-related cognitive impairment. Postmortem studies suggest reductions in ... Read more...

Calcineurin contributes to spatial memory impairment induced by rapid eye movement sleep deprivation.

24 Aug 2009 Recent evidence suggests that rapid eye movement (REM) sleep deprivation (REMSD) causes learning and memory deficits. However, the mechanism of REMSD-induced memory impairment remains unclear. Calcineurin (CaN) is involved in synaptic plasticity and ... Read more...

Effects of age, dietary, and behavioral enrichment on brain mitochondria in a canine model of human aging.

20 Aug 2009 Dogs develop cognitive decline and a progressive accumulation of oxidative damage. In a previous longitudinal study, we demonstrated that aged dogs treated with either an antioxidant diet or with behavioral enrichment show cognitive improvement. The ... Read more...
