The paper examines age-related changes in synaptic plasticity of layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the frontal cortex, finding preserved baseline spine structure but impaired ketamine-induced spinogenesis in aged mice.

This study shows that estradiol treatment improves neurovascular coupling in mice regardless of their metabolic health, suggesting estrogen's benefits may not be limited by pre-existing metabolic conditions.

This study shows that intermittent CMV infection in mice alters BBB metabolism and causes cognitive deficits, suggesting a potential role for pathogens in dementia progression.

This study shows that insulin receptors in astrocytes are necessary for brain uptake of circulating insulin and glucose.
