Adulthood Deficiency of the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor in Hippocampal Neurons Impairs Cell Structure and Spatial Learning and Memory in Male and Not Female Mice

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Reductions in insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are associated with cognitive impairment and increased risk of neurodegenerative disease in advanced age. In mouse models, reduced IGF-1 early-in-life leads to memory impairments and synaptic dysfunction; however, these models are limited by systemic reductions in IGF-1. We hypothesized that IGF-1 continues to promote hippocampal neuron structur...
