A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons—commonly referred to as “zombie” cells—in the peripheral nervous system.

Until recently, the nervous system was not thought to be part of these duplicities, even when cancer had set up its primary residence in the brain. Neurons were simply the cancer’s victims.

Imagine having a front-row seat to your nervous system. How would your experience change if you could see, in real time, how the billions of cells and neurons of your brain and body orchestrate ...
