For decades, aging was treated as an inevitable black box. Fanny Elahi, MD, PhD Elahi shared why that view is changing, and why the science emerging from Mount Sinai and beyond is cause for genuine optimism. The brain does not age in isolation.

Altering the trajectory of one organ may shift the course of others, and interventions that target one system can produce benefits across many.
