You know how hypothalamic function declines with age? This paper seems to isolate an essential mechanism for that, and shows that it can be reversed. (In mice, of course.) twitter.com/aginghighlight…

You know how people make graphs of the expected lifespan of humans over time? Like we tend to live a couple of years longer this century than we did last century and so on. I'd like to see that for lab mice.

My question is David Brin's, how likely is it that all these settings are mostly already on in humans? We do have a crazy high number of lifetime heartbeats.

It's likely! I think we should be studying interventions on animals that are longer lived for their size than mice. (Porcupines & squirrels, for instance.)
