The brainstem region, locus coeruleus (LC), has been remarkably conserved across vertebrates. Evolution has woven the LC into wide-ranging neural circuits that influence functions as broad as autonomic systems, the stress response, nociception, sleep, and high-level cognition among others. Given this conservation, there is a strong possibility that LC activity is inherently similar across species, and furthermore that age, sex, and brain state influence LC activity similarly across species.

In tandem with technological advancements, potential use by individuals with dementia is increasing. However, defining the usability of technology for individuals with dementia remains an ongoing challenge.

Although their care partners adopt various behaviors to prevent their falls, it is unclear if these behaviors reduce falls for those with different levels of fall risk.
Research Design And Methods: Linking the 2015 and 2016 National Health and Aging Trends Study and the 2015 National Study of Caregiving (NSOC), we identified 390 community-dwelling older people with dementia with 607 care partners.
Environmental stimuli elicit drug craving and relapse in cocaine users by triggering the retrieval of strong cocaine-related contextual memories. Retrieval can also destabilize drug memories, requiring reconsolidation, a protein synthesis-dependent storage process, to maintain memory strength. Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) signaling in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is necessary for cocaine-memory reconsolidation.

- The study critiques the current approach of gerontology towards Artificial Intelligence (AI), highlighting that it often treats AI as a 'black box,' limiting its potential for deeper understanding.
- It identifies three key areas—datafication of aging, the political economy of AI and aging, and everyday experiences with AI in later life—where gerontological concepts can be applied to explore the complexities of aging and AI.
- The final proposition suggests a model for examining the interplay between aging and AI, aiming to move beyond simplistic views and deepen the theoretical engagement in gerontological research.
