Eipgenetics and cognitive aging



  1. Interesting study in Gene level. On the other hand, there is a long way to go before the real mechanism of how the brain works for memory, and the exact role hippocampus plays. It also means that neuroscientist will not become unemployed for decades, optimistically :)

    It's not sure even whether there is indeed something called memory, or cognit, or circuit of neurons.

    Any suggestion what type of drug to take?

  3. They added histone deacetylase inhibitor (i.e. preventing the removal of acetyl groups from histone) suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid via a cannula to the rat brain, sodium butyrate also worked, not very practical for humans.
