This study shows that an AGE-rich diet during adolescence impairs memory via hippocampal synaptic deficits and microbiome changes, which can be mitigated by AGE inhibitors.

The paper introduces ATLAS, an anterograde transsynaptic tracer based on an antibody-like protein, which enables non-toxic, synaptic, and activity-dependent circuit tracing in vivo and in dissociated cultures.
