This hour: breakthroughs in brain science.
Coming up, we take a look inside the minds of so-called "superagers" -- older adults whose brains are not only challenging the hands of time, but also raising some big questions within the scientific community. What are some of the best tips and tricks to keep your brain young and healthy? We take a closer look.
We also find out what researchers at the University of Michigan have learned about spaceflight and its impact on astronauts' brains.
