Korean researchers were able to construct a device that allowed non-invasive mechanical stimulation of cerebral lymphatics that drain the CSF in mice to accelerated clearance of CSF waste. This was felt to be beneficial in aged mice in whom this process was decreased. Paper here.

Review of the different kinds of plastics. Watch out this summer when you leave your car out in the sun. PAH plasticizers leech out into the air, which you breathe when you step inside.

What makes brains age?
This study demonstrates that brain aging follows a specific progression, with the first stage occurring in middle age and coinciding with increased insulin resistance. Moreover, we show that brain areas that age fastest are also those most vulnerable to neuronal insulin resistance. Importantly, we find that administering ketones, which can fuel neurons while bypassing insulin resistance, reverses brain aging effects. However, this intervention is only effective when provided early enough for neurons to remain viable.
Yes, but what kinds of ketones?
Ketones, whether produced endogenously through fasting or low-carbohydrate/high-fat diets or administered exogenously as a supplement, have been shown to improve age-related cognitive decline and to restore insulin-resistance-induced deficits in axonal conduction velocity. Moreover, ketones may improve neural functioning even at baseline, strengthening signaling for neurons without being compromised by insulin resistance and across the brain for younger individuals in their 20s and 30s. This increased metabolic efficiency under ketosis is consistent with effects reported for other organs, such as the heart.
So acetone, acetoacetate and β hydroxybutyrate, then? Or eat just enough to experience occasional mild ketosis.

This guy is done with the Firefox browser for many reasons, such as their management, their vision, or lack thereof, and that they might not have a future. But then he switces to Opera, which I don't think is robust enough for me. The support for plug-ins is far less than for Firefox. I use LibreWolf, and find it suitable, and the best of the Firefox spin-offs. I've tried others but always drift back to Gecko-based browsers.

Sadly this is true. Having a High IQ Makes You an Outsider, Not a Genius. A genius brain works differently, and many people can't process information normally. The only ones who were geniuses, yet normal, were Albert Einstein, the Hungarian "martians" and Richard Feynman.
