- A 2016 Journal of Neuroscience paper on “superagers” shows that preserved thickness in anterior temporal cortex, rostral medial prefrontal cortex, anterior mid-cingulate cortex, and hippocampal volume correlates with youthful memory performance in older adults.  
- Discussion of aging biology centered on why a particular enzyme becomes scarce or inactive with age and its possible links to epigenetic senescence signaling via histone deacetylases (e.g., sirtuins) and H₂O₂ pathways.  
- DIY transhumanist knowledge-management stack: the diyhplus wiki runs on ikiwiki plus piny.be hosting; alternatives such as git-backed Jekyll were suggested for easier deployment.  
- Open-source hardware links shared: a single-cell micro-injector built from a pipette and blowtorch at Hackaday Uncon, and the OpenCT2 open-source computed-tomography scanner project.  
- Commercialization of FISSEQ (fluorescent in-situ sequencing): ReadCoor, spun out of George Church’s lab, is using the platform in an IARPA-funded MICrONS consortium to map neuronal connectomes and derive machine-learning algorithms from brain wiring patterns.  
- Colorized electron-microscopy techniques highlighted as a way to enhance visualization of neural ultrastructure.  
- A Technology Review profile of Kernel (Bryan Johnson’s $100 M venture) outlines its plan to build high-bandwidth brain–computer interfaces.
