Geroscience studies aging itself as a root cause of disease. It distinguishes life span (years lived) from health span (years lived in good health). Research explores lifestyle changes, drugs like metformin, and senolytics to slow biological aging and extend healthy, active years.
New research shows the aging brain remodels — not just declines. Discover how the somatosensory cortex changes with age, why some layers thicken while others shrink, and what parvalbumin neurons and myelin reveal about brain aging and touch processing.
