How to Live Forever and Get Rich Doing It As researchers work to make death optional, investors see a chance for huge returns. But has the human body already reached its limits?

In recent years, health has become a competition. America’s richest now live a dozen years longer than its poorest, and they intend to widen their lead: Jeff Bezos, Yuri Milner, and Sam Altman have all funded anti-aging research.

New hope for Alzheimer’s: lithium supplement reverses memory loss in mice Studies in rodents and humans suggest that low levels of the metal contribute to cognitive decline.

Replenishing the brain’s natural stores of lithium can reverse Alzheimer’s disease. Analyses of human brain tissue point to a consistent pattern: when lithium concentrations in the brain decline, memory loss tends to develop, as do neurological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease

Happy 107th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social
