Metabolism is correlative not causative for age-related auditory decline in an insect model

Thomas T. Austin, Christian L. Thomas, Clifton Lewis…·Ben Warren

The paper investigates whether metabolic decline causes or is correlated with age-related auditory decline in desert locusts, finding it is correlative, not causative.
