Like Humans Have Found a Way to Reverse Aging
BY TIM CHILDERSNOV 19, 2020 A landmark study shows the reversal of biological aging in humans. The researchers used oxygen therapy in a pressurized chamber to reverse aging in two key biological clocks. The study showed lengthening in the telomeres of chromosomes and a decrease in cells known to cause aging. The cure for aging has long been the Holy Grail...

Fundamentally, humans remember in two ways
There are many types of memory, but fundamentally, humans remember in two ways. Declarative memory consists of ordinary recollections consciously summoned from the brain. It is dependent on the medial temporal lobe (MTL), which in turn contains key cognitive structures, including the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. Declarative memory allows us to explicitly recall or recognize...
