Giant “Super Neurons” Discovered in SuperAger Brains

According to a new study by Northwestern Medicine, neurons in an area of the brain responsible for memory were significantly larger in SuperAgers compared to cognitively average peers. Post-mortem brains of SuperAgers reveal significantly larger neurons in memory region. SuperAger neurons are even larger than those in individuals 20 to 30 years younger These neurons … Read more

Superager Brains Contain ‘Super Neurons’ – Neuroscience News

Summary: Neurons in the memory-associated entorhinal cortex of super-agers are significantly larger than their cognitively average peers, those with MCI, and even in people up to 30 years younger. Additionally, these neurons contained no signs of Tau, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Source: Northwestern University Neurons in an area of the brain responsible for memory … Read more
