Behavioral Pharmacology

We have evaluated several pharmacological agents designed to compensate for cellular changes that we have identified in the aging brain that lead to age associated learning deficits. These behavioral pharmacological experiments are combined with neurophysiological and biophysical analyses to explore the cellular mechanisms by which the drugs may be operating to enhance learning rate in aging animals.
