Brain transcriptome changes in the aging Drosophila melanogaster accompany olfactory memory performance deficits.

Cognitive decline is a common occurrence of the natural aging process in animals and studying age-related changes in gene expression in the brain might shed light on disrupted molecular pathways that play a role in this decline. The fruit fly is a useful neurobiological model for studying aging due...
