Maybe I'll finally catch up to women in my old age.

Researchers in Shanghai have found that although women live longer than men, their brains age faster, local media reported.
A team of scientists from the Shanghai Institutes for Biological
Sciences at the Chinese Academy of Sciences determined that women’s
cognitive abilities decline faster than men’s as the former grow older,
according to a report in the Oriental Morning Post. They also found that
women suffer Alzheimer’s disease at a higher rate.
Their findings were published in the journal Aging Cell in August. A
team of Chinese and international scientists spent nearly three years
comparing 55 male and female brains of different age groups and more
than 13,000 genes in four brain regions.
They found that 98 percent of 667 genes in the brain’s frontal lobe
age faster in women than in men. The discovery might show that higher
stress plays a part in causing women’s brains to age faster, said Yuan
Yuan, a computational biologist from the research team.

I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
