    The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research’s Dr. Benjamin Sahn led the vagus nerve stimulation clinical trial.
  • Inflammation and the inflammatory reflex – the neuronal signaling between the brain and body – is an important immune response.
  • Previous research and functional MRI studies have mapped stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve to activate the same brain regions as implanted devices, confirming this nerve as a suitable non-invasive target to administer vagus nerve stimulation.
  • Also, Feinstein Institutes researchers, in collaboration with GE Research, published research that harnessed ultrasound technology to reduce inflammation in the body non-invasively.

How did we get to this ‘senior moment’?

    • Some of this may also be attributed to older Americans being far more likely to vote than their younger counterparts.
    • Yet lifespans have increased around the world and the ageing of US politicians still stands out compared to other developed nations.
    • Read more:
      Yes, Joe Biden is old and has low approval ratings, but this is why he's still confident of re-election

What did the founding fathers think about term limits?

    • The founding fathers fiercely debated term limits for both presidents and members of Congress and even included them for members of the Continental Congress in the first Articles of Confederation.
    • As much as Americans cherish the idea of the nation being founded on a constitution and laws instead of traditions and monarchy, the founding fathers ultimately did not legislate any term limits.
    • Instead, they largely assumed custom, tradition and democratic elections would dictate the terms of office.
    • While US presidents have faced term limits for most of the past century, members of Congress continue to serve as long as they like.

The price of elected office and who can afford it

    • The 2020 election was not only contentious, but it was also the most expensive in US history.
    • It cost more than US$14.4 billion (A$22.5 billion) for the presidential and congressional races – more than double what was spent in the 2016 elections.
    • The 2022 elections also broke a record for spending in a midterm election at US$8.9 billion (A$13.9 billion).
    • On an individual level, the average winner of a House of Representatives race in 1990 spent around US$400,000.
    • Those with the resources necessary to afford such expensive campaigns are more likely to be older than not.
