Decreases in the sustained firing capacity of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in the anterior cingulate cortex of aged rats
The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is particularly vulnerable to aging, which impairs cognitive functions such as attention and working memory. Although aging is known to alter intrinsic electrophysiological properties in other brain regions, the differences in the properties of aged ACC neurons and young adult neurons remain uninvestigated. In this study, we compared the intrinsic membrane properties and firing characteristics of aged layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons (26-month-old rats) with those...
Exploring Food Security, Functional Limitations, and Quality of Life Among Adults 60 Years and Older in New York City: A Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSION: These results show the impact of food insecurity and functional limitations and HRQOL in older adults. The results emphasize the urgent need for addressing food insecurity and promote healthy aging among older adults in New York City.
Scientists say guava juice could make iron supplements work better
Researchers found that drinking guava juice may significantly improve anemia by helping the body absorb iron more efficiently. In a review of 17 studies, women and teenage girls who consumed guava juice — especially with iron supplements — experienced noticeable increases in hemoglobin levels. Since guava contains far more vitamin C than oranges, scientists believe it could become a simple, affordable nutrition tool in regions where anemia is widespread.
