Super-agers’ brains stay young into old age. New research brings us closer to understanding why

Some elderly people have the memory of someone 30 or 40 years younger.

The Conversation

This article discusses how genetic differences linked to delay discounting, or a preference for immediate rewards, relate to life-history traits such as educational attainment and age at first birth. The findings integrate genetic data with long-term life outcomes to show a partial biological contribution to impulsive behavior and its real-world consequences.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it connects genetic predispositions with behavioral strategies over the lifespan, illustrating how biology and environment may shape planning, education, and family timing.

Cis-regulatory evolution of Wnt family genes contributes to a morphological difference between silkworm species

Closely related species often exhibit distinct morphologies. This study uncovers the genetic basis of caudal horn size differences between the domesticated silk moth and its wild relative, revealing cis-regulatory changes in Wnt genes as key drivers of morphological evolution without widespread deleterious effects.

In a new study, Sarah Marion &co use genetic mapping and whole genome sequencing in wild #Drosophila to reveal the genetic basis of naturally occurring lethal mutations and introduce a new model that could explain their frequencies in natural populations.

Transposable elements contribute substantially to naturally occurring genetic lethality in Drosophila melanogaster

Recessive lethal mutations are common and often persist at unexpectedly high frequencies due to diverse mutational causes. This study shows that many lethal alleles in Drosophila melanogaster arise from newly invading transposable elements, whose frequencies decline as the species evolves suppression mechanisms naturally over time.
