This chapter begins with the premise that the incidence of dementia will increase. It emphasizes that aging is not a disease and explores the biological factors that perturb longevity and quality of life. Cellular and molecular events during aging include damaging metabolites, modulation of the gut microbiome, loss of proteostasis, and the genetic architecture. The seven epigenomics clocks are described. Resiliency in AD is exemplified by the suppression of dysfunctions despite AD mutations, highlighting the apolipoprotein E3 (APOE3) Christchurch gene. Current research on senescence, inflammaging, mitochondria, protein kinase C eta (PKCη), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and mitochondria is discussed. Also, APOE, interferon genes (STING) axis, tau hyperphosphorylation, and the significance of ADHD are discussed. Additionally, the potential of brain evolution, particularly the resulting speciation for cognition and aging, is presented. In conclusion, the chapter encapsulates the multifaceted orchestrations of genetic and molecular factors that foster human brain resiliency that pave the way for understanding successful aging.
