DESCRIPTION
The complex neural networks of the human brain, with their trillions of interconnected neurons communicating via synapses, endow us with unparalleled cognitive abilities. Yet the inevitable march of time takes its toll, as aging and neurological disorders lead to cognitive decline by disrupting the delicate synaptic signaling that underlies learning and memory.
