Ca<sup>2+</sup> and mitochondria as substrates for deficits in synaptic plasticity in normal brain ageing
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
Normal brain ageing is associated with a degree of functional impairment of neuronal activity that results in a reduction in memory and cognitive functions. One mechanism proposed to explain the age-dependent changes was the "Ca(2+) hypothesis of ageing" but data accumulated in the last decade revealed a number of inconsistencies.
