INTRODUCTION Age and hypertension are two major determinants of arterial stiffness, as well as endothelial dysfunction. The present study was designed to test whether a chronic reduction of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) produces arterial stiffening close to that observed in old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and also to study the effect of an acute or a chronic decrease in blood pressure...

Adult-born granule cells (GCs), a minor population of cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, are highly active during the first few weeks after functional integration into the neuronal network, distinguishing them from less active, older adult-born GCs and the major population of dentate GCs generated developmentally. To ascertain whether young and old GCs perform distinct memory functions, we...

Two studies examined perceptions of child and adult eyewitnesses' credibility. In Study 1, college students evaluated transcribed testimonies of 8-year-old and adult witnesses to a videotaped staged crime. Half were misinformed about the witness's age (i.e., either believing a child's testimony was provided by an adult or vice versa). Neither actual age nor ostensible age affected participants'...
