Finally, kudos to the scientists who conducted the study! It looks like it took a lot of work and thought to do.

👏👏👏

So, where did the idea to use this technique and/or look for turning points come from?

Why did they use it when others didn't?

What was the moment like when they first saw the turning points? Did it all of sudden make sense? Or did it take time to sink in?

What appears different is that here the researchers used UMAP, a special type of trend-spotting graphing technique to detect age-related "turning points" in the data.

One interesting, uncovered angle is that this is a hot topic. Many labs have analyzed very similar brain scan data, but none have found such a compelling way to think about brain aging.

3. And one study suggests that being more careful in writing press releases can reduce the mismatch between claims made in the news with those made in scientific papers that the news stories cover.

Hope that helps. 🙏

2. Previous studies have found a correlation between press release claims and those appearing in news stories.

Here's a link to the scientific paper that describes the results.
Title: "Nanomaterial-induced mitochondrial biogenesis enhances intercellular mitochondrial transfer efficiency"

Here's the link to the Interesting Engineering article. Note: The subtitle that appears here does not match the one from the actual article. Again, it looks like no aging experiments were performed in the study this new subtitle indicates. So why the different subtitles...who knows??
