The reason for the effect was then unknown. Today, at the Univers

15、ity of California at Berkley, Dr. Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats.

16、the signals that influence aging. By changing that chemical balance, the clock of aging can be reset.

23、 as they shift from task to task, this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks.
