New research reveals clues about memory from the brains of 'SuperAgers'

SuperAgers over 80 show memory equal to adults in their 50s, study finds

A new Northwestern study finds some adults over 80 maintain memory and brain health on par with people decades younger, offering insight into how aging and Alzheimer’s could be delayed.

This week in science: Eagles in Japan, the lives of deep-sea animals and 'SuperAgers'

Regina Barber and Rachel Carlson of Short Wave talk about endangered eagles in Japan, the lifestyles of deep-living ocean creatures and the longevity secrets of human 'SuperAgers,' aged 80 and older.

80-year-old ‘Superager’ brains operate like those of a 50-year old. Here’s why

Why does the brain of some people stay sharp into their 80s and beyond? An expert explains what 25 years of exploring the brain tissue of “SuperAgers” has discovered.

Superagers' brains offer clues to cognitive resilience, and possible treatments, researchers say

Scientists uncover what makes "superagers" resilient to memory loss in a study that hints at new ways to protect against Alzheimer’s-related brain changes.

New research reveals clues to memory and longevity from the brains of 'SuperAgers'

Nearly 300 people who have participated in the Northwestern University SuperAging Program since 2000 have helped show impaired memory isn’t always part of aging.

The first 25 years of SuperAger research show cognitive decline is not an inevitable part of aging

For 25 years, scientists at Northwestern Medicine have been studying individuals aged 80 and older—dubbed "SuperAgers"—to better understand what makes them tick.
