FKBP51 is a key stress-responsive regulator of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis. To elucidate the contribution of rs1360780 FKBP5 C/T alleles to aging and longevity, we genotyped FKBP5 in a cohort of 800 non-demented and Alzheimer&...
We quantitatively investigate the physical origins of the non-Markovianity measure proposed in our previous work, which can be directly interpreted as memory effects, i.e., the dependence of a quantum system’s future evolution on its history. U...
