    Abstract:
    Humans and rodents experience declines in reference (long-term) and working (short-term) memory and cognitive flexibility during the aging process. Aging changes in GluN1 and GluN2B subunits of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors show a relationship to both reference and working memory deficits. Sulindac, an anti-inflammatory drug, enhances working memory and NMDA receptor...
