Scientists find humans age dramatically in two bursts – at 44, then 60

New York Post

We know the body changes over time, but new research suggests those shifts may be more sudden and staggering than previously thought. 

A new study from Stanford Medicine reveals that many of the body’s molecules and microorganisms starkly rise or fall in number at two specific times — ages 44 and 60.

Researchers drew this conclusion after assessing thousands of molecules — including RNA, proteins and metabolites — and their microbiomes, the collection of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live on and inside us, in people 25 to 75 years old.



Researchers found that 81% of the molecules studied displayed nonlinear fluctuations,...

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Neuroscientists think they have identified the large-scale neural network that keeps the brain's creative juices flowing.
Unlike specific movements or sensory responses, creative thought isn't confined to any one part of the brain's wrinkled outer cortex. But a team of researchers, led by Baylor College of Medicine, think they have found the brain circuits fundamental to some types of creativity.

Could your personality influence your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease? An analysis of UK Biobank data showed that individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment who also have high genetic risk for neuroticism are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers used genetic data to calculate a neuroticism risk score and found that individuals with higher scores were more prone to developing Alzheimer’s. The paper was published in Human Brain Mapping.
