Fabien Pifferi et al. report survival and age-related brain atrophy data in grey mouse lemurs fed either a normal diet or a diet restricted in calories by 30%. They find that caloric restriction extended life span by 50% and decelerated brain white matter atrophy, but accelerated the loss of grey matter, in most of the cerebrum.
