Recently published in #JNeurosci: Ducote, Voglewede, and @rmostany investigated the synapses in the somatosensory cortex, which support learning and memory, in mice. The researchers discovered significant changes in the synapse structure of aged mice that may hinder learning and memory retention. @Tulane @MostanyLab @TulaneBrain jneurosci.org/content/early/…
