Mitochondria power-supply failure may cause age-related cognitive impairment

Scientists found mitochondria size does not coincide with energy demand in the brain as it ages, potentially causing age-related working memory impairment. Their findings point to mitochondria dysfunction rather than synapse loss as cause for age-related cognitive impairment, illuminating research on aging and age-related illness, like Alzheimer's.
