Article Synopsis
- Age-related cognitive decline affects learning and memory across various species, including humans, and can occur even without significant cell death.
- A study using the Lymnaea stagnalis snail's feeding system found that while acquiring appetitive memory is not impacted by age, the retention and consolidation of long-term memory deteriorates as age increases.
- This decline in memory retention is linked to decreased electrical activity in important neurons, suggesting that the snail model can help explore the cellular and molecular aspects of aging in the brain.
