Chotosan, a Kampo Formula, Ameliorates Hippocampal LTD and Cognitive Deficits in Juvenile-Onset Diabetes Rats
Childhood-onset type 1 diabetes is associated with modest impairments in cognition and has an elevated risk of cognitive decline. Our previous study showed that working memory and hippocampal long-term depression (LTD) were impaired in juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus (JDM) rats. In this study, we i...

Childhood-onset type 1 diabetes is associated with modest impairments in cognition and has an elevated risk of cognitive decline.
