Experiments in mice suggested that an enzyme released by nerve cells helps compensate for age-related brain changes and preserve memory.Experiments in mice suggested that an enzyme released by nerve cells helps compensate for age-related brain changes and preserve memory.
Experiments in aged male mice, 5 weeks, against aged mice receiving control lentivirusMechanisms
Limit: Only male mice were studied; memory benefits in females remain untested
