Abstract

Significance: Human and nonhuman primates are vulnerable to age- and menopause-related decline in working memory, a cognitive function reliant on the energy-demanding excitation of prefrontal cortex (PFC) neurons. The number and strength of presynaptic boutons providing inputs to these PFC neurons regulate their excitability. We show that poor working memory in rhesus monkeys is associated with a higher incidence of presynaptic boutons harboring malformed, donut-shaped mitochondria that form abnormally small synaptic contacts. Surgically induced menopause results in working memory impairment and a concomitant increase in presynaptic donut-shaped mitochondria, both of which are reversed by estradiol treatment. Our findings suggest that hormone replacement therapy benefits cognitive aging, in part, by promoting mitochondrial and synaptic health in the PFC.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
