Answered
What is the new brain phase?
The new brain phase occurs between the ages of 50 and 75. It involves the replenishment of microglia by peripheral blood cells.
How does this phase affect cognitive health?
The replenishment of microglia may influence cognitive health and decline, although the exact mechanisms are not yet fully understood.
Which outlets are covering this story?
The Times of India, The Economic Times, ScienceDaily, inc.com, The Scientist, Neuroscience News and Medical Xpress are among the outlets covering this story.
Where it stands
People between 50 and 75 may experience cognitive changes due to a newly discovered brain phase. This phase involves the replenishment of microglia, the brain's immune cells, by peripheral blood cells.
The Times of India, The Economic Times, ScienceDaily and inc.com all describe a shift in the brain's immune system. The Scientist, Neuroscience News and Medical Xpress detail how blood cells replenish aging microglia.
The discovery raises questions about how this process influences cognitive health and decline.
