Brain Resilience Postdoctoral Scholar Annie Goettemoeller is studying how epilepsy-like activity might drive the spread of Alzheimer’s pathology in the brain

Knight Initiative scientists tracked every moment of the life of the African turquoise killifish, showing that behavior alone can forecast whether an animal will live a long or short life

Frank Longo's long trek nears its destination

Neuroscientists studying inflammation and age-related brain decline engineered a protein that spurs the growth of new neurons in aging mice

Researchers from around the world convened at Stanford to present their latest work on neurodegeneration and brain resilience

Proteins that start life inside neurons build up faster in old age and spread to other brain cells—a potential source of neurological mischief

Knight Initiative Director Tony Wyss-Coray and others talked to Nature Aging about aging research

Unlike chronological age, biological age can change and is a reflection of how your body's cells, tissues, and organs are functioning and aging

The database of lysosomal proteins is already helping researchers study how brain cells’ waste and recycling systems work—or don’t—in Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases
