Story summary
- A study in *Nature Aging* identifies ferritin light chain 1 (Ftl-1) as a factor in age-related memory loss in mice.
- Lowering Ftl-1 levels enhanced cognitive function and neuronal health in older mice.
- Boosting mitochondrial function with NADH also improved memory performance.
- Results are promising but need further research for human applicability.
