Older female mice show poor spatial memory when their paternal X chromosome is inactive and only the maternal copy is active. This phenomenon could be responsible for variation in age-related ...

"Given the fact that the X chromosome is enriched for brain-related genes, it became very important for us to know what roles it might be playing in brain aging," said Samira Abdulai-Saiku, Ph.D ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco found that female mice expressing only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging and cognitive decline compared to those expressing both maternal and ...
