Your brain shall not wither…
Exciting new research demonstrates that healthy older brains are not significantly smaller than younger brains! With imaging tools at the psychologists’ hands, the world is learning so much more about the possibilities of continuing good health well into our 80s. Current research comes from the Netherlands’ long term aging study from 1994 to 2005. The study authors concluded that as long as people’s brains stay healthy there is no evidence that the brain gets smaller. What does this mean to you as your navigate your growing older? Will you be confident to take on new interests or existing hobbies that you enjoy or will enjoy? Will the knowledge that you are likely to continue good health help you make decisions to follow your interests for many years to come?
