Synaptic responses mediated by the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) and non-NMDAr activation were compared in CA1 hippocampal region of young (3-4 months old) and aged (25-33 months old) Sprague-Dawley rats with the use of ex vivo extracellular recordings techniques. In aged rats, the amplitude

## Abstract The effects of a carnitine derivative, acetyl‐L‐carnitine (ALCAR), on the cognitive and cholinergic activities of aging rats were examined. Rats were given ALCAR (100 mg/kg) per os for 3 months and were subjected to the Hebb‐Williams tasks and a new maze task, AKON‐1, to assess their le
## Abstract Muscarinic cholinergic Ml and M2 receptors in young and aged adult male volunteers were studied using [N‐^11^C‐methyl]‐benztropine, a specific muscarinic cholinergic receptor ligand, and high resolution positron emission tomography (PET). A regionally specific pattern of decreased bindi
