The episode covers two main types of play that promote brain flexibility: physical activities that engage the vestibular system, and cognitive games that enhance the brain's ability to explore different scenarios
Neurological Relevance Preclinical evidence suggests broader neuroprotective potential: In traumatic brain injury models, SS-31 reduced mitochondrial swelling, neuronal loss, and neuroinflammation Aged mice treated with SS-31 showed significantly improved exercise tolerance, muscle strength, and mitochondrial efficiency Studies demonstrate protection against ischemic injury and enhanced cardiac output Phase 3 trials are ongoing for dry age-related macular degeneration and primary mitochondrial myopathy (Stealth BioTherapeutics pipeline) Implications for Brain Aging Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of brain aging and neurodegeneration
