Scientists uncovered a bizarre way that our brains are mutating

Scientists believe that mutations in the brain they previously thought were rare might actually be happening inside each and every one of us. In fact, scientists believe that these brain mutations could actually be factors in how we age.

According to Ryan Mills, a researcher at the University of Michigan, the mutations are not only present, but they’re also found in the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain that is associated with cognitive ability—and one area typically affected heavily by aging.
