Gene activity linked to preserved thinking skills in mice
Researchers linked a 271-gene activity pattern to cognitive performance independently of age, including genes involved in building and moving tiny, hairlike cell…Researchers linked a 271-gene activity pattern to cognitive performance independently of age, including genes involved in building and moving tiny, hairlike cell projections.
Preprint: cross-sectional studyMechanisms
Who was studied906 C57BL/6 mice
What changedHigher ciliary gene activity was linked to better thinking skills in mice, independent of age
The catchCilia genes were selected and evaluated using the same cognitive outcome, biasing association strength
