Sex‐dependent modulation of age‐related cognitive decline by the L‐type calcium channel gene Cacna1c (Cav1.2)
19 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
Increased calcium influx through L-type voltage-gated calcium channels has been implicated in the neuronal dysfunction underlying age-related memory declines. The present study aimed to test the specific role of Cacna1c (which encodes Cav 1.2) in modulating age-related memory dysfunction. Short-term, spatial and contextual/emotional memory was evaluated in young and aged, wild-type as well as mice with one...
