Much to their surprise, the mice not only outperformed their age-matched counterparts, but their neurons had drastically reverted back to more youthful characteristics. Examining the brain cells at a molecular level, some 800 genes unexpectedly began reverting back to “young brain” levels. With so many punctuated changes arising from a single protein, FKBP1b (and calcium levels it controls) is much more relevant to mental aging than previously thought.

I want what the mice had!
