Alzheimer’s from the inside

Alzheimer’s from the insideby vaughanbell There's an excellent short-film, featuring journalist Greg O'Brien, who describes the experience of Alzheimer's disease as it affects him. It's both moving and brilliantly made, skilfully combining the neuroscience of Alzheimer's with the raw experience of experiencing dementia. I found it in this *Nautilus* article, also by O'Brien, who has taken the rare step of writing abook about the experience of Alzheimer's disease before it affected his ability to write.

In this post I’ll point out the 8 reasons that lead me to believe it.

new metric to track aging

Worm research in life extension leads scientists to discover new metric to track aging December 10, 2015 [image: C. elegans nematode worm (credit: The Goldstein Lab)] Living longer usually means a living longer in old age, but wouldn't it better to extend young adulthood instead? When researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in California administered an antidepressant called mianserin to the Caenorhabditis elegans roundworm in 2007, they discovered the drug increased the lifespan of the “young adulthood” of roundworms by 30–40 per cent. So, does that mean it will work in... mais »
