NIH grant awarded to University of Arizona to study neural basis of episodic memory and age-related memory deficits across species, focusing on spatial cognition circuits affected by aging.
Description
The project aims to understand the neural basis of episodic memory and age-related memory deficits across species, including rodents, nonhuman primates, and humans. It involves investigating brain circuits responsible for spatial cognition in aged rats, examining hippocampal representations in aged nonhuman primates, and exploring neural underpinnings of navigation deficits in aged humans using innovative behavioral, recording, and imaging techniques.
