Age is an important factor in determining the response of brain tumors to chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Patients over sixty years old have a lower response rate and shorter duration of response than younger patients. Tumor cells from younger patients were sensitive to BCNU, but cells from older patients barely responded to the BCNU. Only a few studies evaluate age as a parameter of response. Older patients may have to take medicine due to chronic illnesses, and this means that there…

I will be focusing on object recognition testing in mice where they have the ability to perceive certain objects by its physical features such as color, shape, size, texture to determine how your short-term memory works when one or two different objects are placed for a certain period of time. The term “object…
