Story summary
- Aging Cell reports that a 30% reduction in calorie intake may slow aging in the primate brain.
- Researchers from Boston University and the National Institutes of Health studied long-term calorie restriction in rhesus monkeys.

- Limitations include a small sample size and post-mortem tissue, and researchers should examine sex differences and causal links.
