Protocol Steps
1
Animal training on memory tasks
Animals were trained on two memory tasks to assess cognitive performance
not specifiednot specified
Note: Training conducted on young, mid-aged, and aged rats (n=10 per group)
View evidence from paper
“Animals were trained on two memory tasks, and the hippocampal CA1 region of each was analyzed on an individual microarray”
2
Hippocampal tissue collection and microarray analysis
Hippocampal CA1 region from each animal was analyzed on an individual microarray
