For a human, one of the first signs someone is getting old is the inability to remember little things; maybe they misplace their keys, or get lost on an oft-taken route. For a laboratory mouse, it’s forgetting that when bright lights and a high-pitched buzz flood your cage, an electric zap to the foot quickly follows.
But researchers at Stanford University discovered that if you transfuse cerebrospinal fluid from a young mouse into an old one, it will recover its former powers of recall and freeze in anticipation. They also identified a protein in that cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF, that penetrates into the hippocampus, where it drives improvements in memory.
The tantalizing breakthrough, published Wednesday in Nature, suggests that youthful factors circulating in the CSF, or drugs that target the same pathways, might be tapped to slow the cognitive declines of old age. Perhaps even more importantly, it shows for the first time the potential of CSF as a vehicle to get therapeutics for neurological diseases into the hard-to-reach fissures of the human brain.
“This is the first study that demonstrates real improvement in cognitive function with CSF infusion, and so that’s what makes it a real milestone,” said Maria Lehtinen, a neurologist at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, who was not involved in the new research. “The super-exciting direction here is that it lends support to the idea that we can harness the CSF as a therapeutic avenue for a broad range of conditions.”

Was gonna comment here, but now can’t remember what I was gonna say . . .
So until I can't remember my name and tattoo my SS on my arm...I'll play it my way.
How do you tell your kids to MYOB...I know they mean well....but I'm doing fine.
When that happens to me, I go to the refrigerator and look inside. It doesn't cause me to remember what I was going to say, but I can make a sandwich.
Where will Soros and Hillary get baby brain fluid?
Lulz, I was literally thinking the same thing and about to post up something to that effect. GG
That's the way to do it .. just tell 'em you're not 'eccentric', you're unique!
Great! Now they can add this to the list to be harvested from trafficked children. Adrenochrome and organs are old school.
That's why they want those baby-butchering plants kept operating 24/7.
My favorite shirt says...
Sometimes I talk to myself. Then we both laugh and laugh.

Why kill the Golden Goose? How much can be taken without grave ill effects, and how often?
Chinese prison planners want to know.
And what is the effectiveness versus age relation?
Why not do comprehensive chemical analysis on the young vs. old CSF, and see if the issue is buildup of sludge with age, similar to a car’s motor oil?
Well now you know why Biden sniffing the little girls hair. He wants to check if her spinal fluid is good enough to suck like a vampire
DC must have entire farms of youngsters to suck their life juices keeping them animated.
This is just great. Libtards will be sucking the brain juice out of babies. It’s all we need.
That article creeped me out-there was a novel that came out in about 1970-71-”The Methuselah Enzyme” about old rich people stealing youth enzymes/DNA from their young spouses/partners/kids at a fancy rejuvenation spa in Europe -which eventually was fatal, of course-it was like the Hotel California for the young victims-it was a scary read-Brrrrr...

Pretty sure memory is the second thing to go... but I forget the first one.
