Evidence for loss of synaptic AMPA receptors in anterior piriform cortex of aged mice

It has been suggested that age-related impairments in learning and memory may be due to age-related deficits in long-term potentiation (LTP) of glutamatergic synaptic transmission. For example, olfactory discrimination learning is significantly affected by aging in mice and this may be due, in part,...
