Study on worlds oldest monkeys may explain age-related mental decline, Scientists say

vely, because GABA wasnt limiting the neurons to specific responses. Exactly how this change occurred isnt completely clear. In their Science paper, the researchers speculate that perhaps GABA production decreases in older brains.

Leventhal is hoping that more researchers will begin study aging in monkeys.

Its absolutely remarkable to me that my lab is the only lab in the world studying higher brain function in old monkeys. Old monkeys are rare, but the world is full of old human primates, Leventhal said. Hopefully we can drum up a little interest, and encourage other people who are trying to figure out how come their kids are smarter than they are now.
