Progress in the study of mechanisms of aging-related attenuation of memory and learning / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Following ageing, memory and learning attenuate apparently. Mechanisms responsible for the aging related memory and learning deficit may involve in synaptic morphology and fanction deterioration in hippocampas, changes of central neurotransmitter systems、 brain intracellular calcium ions concentration、 gene expression and neurotrophasthemic etc. The mechanisms of aging related attenuation in memory and learning is summarized.
