title: How should one study brain adrenergic receptors in aging?
abstract: Contradictory findings and lack of definitive information regarding adrenergic receptors in aging results in part from problems related to the methodology that has been used to study this question. Limitations of available techniques and new biochemical, molecular biological, and physiological methods that may prove particularly helpful for future studies are discussed.
