Behind the Study: Aging and Memory Altered in Neurons or Glia of Flies
Ariel K. Frame, PhD Candidate in the Neuroscience program at Western University, London, Canada, discusses a research paper he co-authored that was published by Aging (Aging-US) in Volume 15, Issue 4, entitled, “Aging and memory are altered by genetically manipulating lactate dehydrogenase in the neurons or glia of flies.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204565 Corresponding authors - Ariel K. Frame - aframe@uwo.ca, and Robert C. Cumming - rcummin5@uwo.ca Abstract The astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle hypothesis posits that glial-generated lactate is transported to neurons to fuel…
