Many brain modifications have been described in ageing: cognitive functions, learning ability and memory retention decline very frequently. It is not clear whether the observed deficits are related to alterations in memory processes (short- or long-term memory), in memory modulation or in nonassociative factors. We tried to correlate the morphological neurophysiological and neurochemical changes in aged brain with the decline in learning behaviour. Psychopharmacology of ageing is developing quickly, but presently no data are completely convincing, even though prospects are interesting.
在衰老过程中，人们已经描述了许多大脑的变化：认知功能、学习能力和记忆保持能力经常会下降。目前尚不清楚所观察到的缺陷是否与记忆过程（短期或长期记忆）、记忆调节或非关联因素的改变有关。我们试图将老年大脑中的形态学、神经生理学和神经化学变化与学习行为的下降联系起来。衰老的心理药理学发展迅速，但目前还没有完全令人信服的数据，尽管前景很有意思。
