Study finds the brain stays capable of learning in older age
Original: A study shows that the brain remains malleable and can learn new things well into older age. https:// theconversation.co
A large study reported by The Conversation indicates the brain remains malleable well into older age, and that everyday activities such as reading, socialising and doing puzzles can help preserve cognitive health. The findings challenge the assumption that cognitive decline in later life is inevitable and point to simple lifestyle habits as protective factors against impairment as people age.
Why now: New research on brain plasticity and cognitive health in ageing offers hopeful, practical findings that resonate widely.
