"Reverse brain aging", sure, in the same sense that taking Vitamin C reverses aging. The nasal spray reduced markers of inflammation in hippocampal microglial cells. A lot of things reduce inflammation. That is not "reversing ageing". Of course, "reduces inflammation" doesn't headline very well...

The article is also heavily ai generated, I call bs on every single bit

>>The article is also heavily ai generated

can you please share your methodology for detecting ai please?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

“Congratulations, you get improved brain function while we continue to run other experiments on you!”

You can now experience both physical pain and existential dread!

On the plus side, expect to see great works of literature authored by rodents.

AI generated? Not demonstrated.

Whining by humans claiming AI? Predictable. Probable. Indeed LLM "complete the sentence" predictable.

Vibes. It is in the vibes.

That's exactly what I want: immortal mice!

That's a surprisingly underused plot for a sci Fi horror film. Considering the grand total of experiments we've ran on the little guys, I'm kinda surprised we haven't bred Mousezilla yet

Or Pinky & the Brain

High impact journal for an interesting study that is admittedly largely out of my area of expertise. The limitation of it being done in animal models, is of course, noted, but also expected. The question I would ask is how well the underlying background research makes this outcome expected.

Damn, that’s one hell of a way to say “is this any good though?”. Too many words for such a simple question.

Mice get all the cool shit first

I even seen a mouse on youtube with it's own tiny EV sports car driving about!

This one?

Someone needs to put an octopus in a mini vehicle.

Pretty much, lol. I started to say some other things but decided to say less.
