The role of the hypothalamus in aging

Xiamen University's PLOS Biology by Dr. Lige Leng recently discovered the role of the hypothalamus in physiological aging, through an increase in the process of neuroinflammatory signaling over time. Inflammation promotes multiple age-related processes, both in the brain and the periphery.

The hypothalamus is the seat of all emotions (not your heart) and is important for many aspects of healthy aging, including metabolic and cognitive health, the stress response, and maintenance of circadian rhythms.
