<p><font size = 6> T<font size = 4>he Aging & Memory Research Labs</A> explore 3 basic and strongly related neurobiological themes within the limbic system:

<font size = 4>

<UL>

<LI> 1. What are the cellular mechanisms used to form new memories?

<LI>2. How does the aging process alter these cellular mechanisms?

<LI>3. If we reverse age-associated cellular changes, can we restore memory in aging individuals?</ul><p>

In order to address these questions, we utilize a wide variety of methods (behavioral, pharmacological, physiological, neurochemical), time-dependent designs (cross-sectional, longitudinal, chronic, and acute), preparations (freely-behaving, intact, reduced network, and isolated), and subjects (people and animal subjects) to increase both the power and the generality of our findings.</p><hr>
