Eric Topol Hopes So&#8221;<\/i><\/h6>\n<p>\n&#8220;In a study published recently in the journal Nature, scientists examined the super-agers, people who live into their 90s or even 100s with minds and bodies that seem decades younger. They found something extraordinary: many super-agers had a unique brain network that was more robust and interconnected, unlike what is often seen in normal aging individuals.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Just when you thought aging was a merciless journey to forgetting your favorite songs, faces, and food, science announces a detour! It seems some super-agers have brains that ignore the traditional concept of time \u2013 imagine having the cognitance of a fit 30-year-old while sipping tea in the 90+ club!<\/p>\n<p>In this intimate t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate with famed physician and scientist Eric Topol, the extraordinary revelation of a robust and uniquely interconnected brain network among super-agers emerges. It&#8217;s as if their brains decided to build a sprawling metro system instead of a simple town bus network. With this engrossing network in place, these super-agers retain memories, skills, and quick thinking abilities much better than the average elder. <\/p>\n<p>The intriguing part is that Alzheimer&#8217;s and Dementia, habitual party crashers in aging, usually start their party in the very area this brain network is much more robust in super-agers. Perhaps the super-agers have an elite security team that kicks the intruders out? While we drop that thought for now, scientists are definitely onto something big here!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s applaudable how Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, has his sights set on not just understanding what makes these super-agers different, but also tapping into their powers. Can their secrets be bottled up and distributed as anti-aging cognac? Now, that&#8217;s an intriguing prospect. <\/p>\n<p>For those audaciously defying the law of time, the question is no longer about reaching their 90&#8217;s or 100&#8217;s, but how to reach it with minds and bodies that echo the lyrics of Tina Turner&#8217;s &#8216;Simply the Best.&#8217; While we applaud the super-agers for setting a high bar, kudos to the scientists who are actively digging to understand this promising treasure of aging gracefully, or rather, aging smartly.<\/p>\n<p>As fascinating as it sounds, this is not some distant sci-fi concept. The study has opened up the possibility for new treatments, preventive measures, and a potential elixir of cognitive youth. Respawning your mental youth? Now that&#8217;s giving &#8216;back to the future&#8217; an entirely new meaning. So, cheers to our future oldies-with-super-goldies and here\u2019s to a world infused with the wisdom of age, but the sparkle of a sharp mind!<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/big-interview-event-eric-topol-super-agers\/\">Read the original article here: https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/big-interview-event-eric-topol-super-agers\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Super-agers come with their own metro-like brain network, quashing dementia&#8217;s party plans.
