SuperAgers Kept Youthful Memory With Preserved Cortex and Larger Entorhinal Neurons
TL;DR: A 2026 study in Alzheimer’s & Dementia linked SuperAging to preserved cortex, larger entorhinal neurons, less inflammatory microglia, and more von Economo neurons. Key Findings Age-80 memory matched 50-to-60-year-olds: SuperAgers are defined as adults ≥80 whose delayed word recall equals or exceeds performance typical of people 20–30 years younger. “Normal” aging hides a lot …
