Larger volumes in a front part of the brain that involves planning and decision-making is associated with people who carry a variant of gene that is associated with longevity, found researchers at UC San Francisco. The finding bolsters their previous discovery that middle-aged and older people who carry a single copy of the KLOTHO allele, called KL-VS, performed better on a wide range of cognitive tests. When they modeled KL-VS in mice, they found this strengthened ...Wednesday, 28 January 2015
Larger Aging-Vulnerable Brain Region in People With Longevity Gene Variant
Larger volumes in a front part of the brain that involves planning and decision-making is associated with people who carry a variant of gene that is associated with longevity, found researchers at UC San Francisco. The finding bolsters their previous discovery that middle-aged and older people who carry a single copy of the KLOTHO allele, called KL-VS, performed better on a wide range of cognitive tests.
