Modeling brain aging and resilience over the lifespan reveals new individual factors

Cognitive Neuroscience Society
Meeting Announcement

Age is more than just one number. While neuroscientists used to think of cognitive aging as a single trendline, they now realize that vast individual differences require a more predictive and personalized approach. As they uncover more factors that affect cognition over time, they are realizing that modeling the aging brain requires more diverse data than traditionally captured, as will be presented at the annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS) in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Meeting: 33rd Meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society

Improving your biological age gap is associated with better brain health

American Academy of Neurology
Meeting Announcement

Improving the gap between your biological age and your chronological age is associated with a lower risk of stroke and improvements in signs of damage in the brain, according to a preliminary study released March 5, 2026, that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s 78^th Annual Meeting taking place April 18-22, 2026, in Chicago and online.

Of crocodiles, counting and conferences

University of Cape Town - Faculty of Science
Meeting Announcement

Do the bones of all Nile crocodiles have the same number of growth marks as their age? And can such growth rings be counted to accurately gauge the age of these reptiles? Is this also an accurate method to use when trying to “age” dinosaurs and other extinct and extant reptiles? No, not according to a Scientific Reports study by Prof Anusuya Chinsamy-Turan and Dr Maria-Eugenia Pereyra of the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Cape Town (UCT), South Africa. They found that the growth marks in crocodiles’ bones cannot be used as a reliable indicator of age. The two UCT palaeontologists further caution against using it along with derived growth curves to age extinct vertebrates such as dinosaurs.

Meeting: 7th International Palaeontological Congress (IPC7)
