Abstract

Aging is known to be associated with a decline in memory and mood, but the molecular mechanisms that underlie these changes remain unclear. Moigneu, Abdellaoui and colleagues show that growth differentiation factor 11 reverses deficits in these functions in aged mice, pointing the way towards a novel pro-mnemonic and antidepressant therapeutic target.
