Drug appeared to aid memory updating in middle-aged male mice

In experiments, male mice aged 10–15 months learned and retained object locations, but reminders did not readily make those memories open to change.In experiments, male mice aged 10–15 months learned and retained object locations, but reminders did not readily make those memories open to change.
