Neurotransmitter receptors and aging

J Am Geriatr Soc. 1984 Jan;32(1):24-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1532-5415.1984.tb05147.x.

Abstract

The role of receptors in the central nervous system and effects of aging on the four neurotransmitter receptors most often studied in the context of aging--beta-adrenergic, cholinergic, benzodiazepine, and dopamine--are discussed.
