Memory-linked brain cells reactivate less in aged mice
Experiments comparing young and aged mice found changes in the organization of memory-related brain activity and in gene responses during recall.Experiments comparing young and aged mice found changes in the organization of memory-related brain activity and in gene responses during recall.

Who was studiedYoung and aged mice, against young mice
What changedMemory-linked brain cells reactivated less during recall in aged mice than in young mice
The catchCell reactivation was inferred from FOS-based activity mapping, an indirect marker of neuronal activity
