#Iron plays a critical role in core #brain functions
Including energy metabolism, oxygen handling, and neurotransmitter synthesis, while also posing risks through oxidative stress if not tightly regulated

www.nature.com Targeting iron-associated protein Ftl1 in the brain of old mice improves age-related cognitive... Nature Aging - The authors identify ferritin light chain 1 (FTL1), an iron-associated protein, as a pro-aging neuronal factor that increases with age and promotes cognitive decline. Targeting FTL1...

🧠 What if iron—not neurons—was one of the original drivers of brain evolution?

A perspective from Cells (journal) suggests that glial cells may have first evolved not for myelination or support… but for iron regulation.

A different way to think about the brain 🧵

🧠 Measuring brain iron isn’t as straightforward as we think.

A new study in Chemical & Biomedical Imaging shows that how you threshold can dramatically change estimates of tissue iron.

That has important implications for neuroscience & disease research 🧵
