Some individuals maintain high cognitive functioning at older ages. Here we show that mechanisms for long-term depression differ in aged rodents that maintain cognitive performance compared to young adults. Our results imply that cognitive abilities may be sustained in aged individuals by a switch in synaptic plasticity mechanisms.Entities:
