The family cat may be ageing more like humans than anyone realised, and scientists say the similarities appear deep inside the brain
New research reveals cats age biologically much like humans, particularly in brain function. Scientists found similarities in brain shrinkage and structural changes, suggesting cats could serve as valuable models for studying human aging and potential neurological diseases. This breakthrough highlights common mammalian aging principles and opens doors for integrated veterinary and human health research.
