How does the brain control lifespan

TL;DR: It is speculated that during evolution the brain took on the task of monitoring and controlling peripheral energy metabolism, and thereby regulating lifespan in the context of food availability, suggesting a mechanism whereby the brain can control lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Microenvironment of the Embryonic Neural Stem Cell: Lessons From Adult Niches?

TL;DR: Using the similarities and differences observed, it will be considered whether the location of embryonic stem cell populations such as the VZ can be thought of as niches and how these lessons from the niche inform the understanding of neurodevelopmental diseases and cancers of the CNS.

Presenilin-1 mutation sensitizes oligodendrocytes to glutamate and amyloid toxicities, and exacerbates white matter damage and memory impairment in mice.

TL;DR: Oligodendrocytes from PS1 mutant knockin mice are more vulnerable to being killed by glutamate and amyloid β-peptide, and exhibit an abnormality in calcium regulation which is responsible for their death.
