Does aging BEGIN in the brain? Development of new neurons slows down as we get older, followed by regular signs of aging
Can aging be slowed down or even reversed? The answer to that is yes, according to researchers from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. One needs only to look at the hypothalamus, where certain neural stem cells can both precipitate and reverse the aging process. For their study, the researchers made use of healthy mice. When the animals reached 10 months in … Continue reading Does aging BEGIN in the brain? Development of new neurons slows down as we get older, followed by regular signs of aging
