Brain begins to age in 25 years
04 Jul 2017
It turns out that the aging of your brain begins immediately after you turn 25!
According to the results of a number of experiments that were published in the publication PLOS, the average person continues to improve intellectually for a very short period of his life ...
Let's clarify that this is not about the general intellectual development, but only about the special ability of our brain to analyze, process and issue the best solutions in the shortest possible time. So, scientists managed to determine that these qualities of brain activity reach their maximum by the age of 25.
Neuroscientists from Sweden conducted a series of experiments in which more than 3 thousand subjects of various ages (from 9 to 90!) Participated. Researchers came to the conclusion that the results of the experiment clearly indicate that it is precisely 25-year-old people who are at the peak of their mental abilities and are able to solve the problems of any "behavioral complexity". Thus, the age correlated with the optimal complexity of behavior is 25 years.
This is what scientists from the Institute said about this in Stockholm: "After 25 years, the processing speed of information in neurons begins to decline, and people gradually" slide "to lower results, although this is not immediately noticeable. However, after 60 years you can observe a marked deterioration in cognitive functions and the emergence of difficulties in solving problems, not just such as crosswords and puzzles, but also everyday tasks. " In fairness, it should be noted that in this study, scientists did not evaluate the standard parameters of the cognitive sphere, such as the general level of intelligence and receptivity. Neurophysiologists were interested only in how effectively people are able to recognize the patterns presented to them. The authors of the work call them "algorithmic prerequisites for human behavior," emphasizing that such properties of brain activity have never been studied before.
Well, in any case, the daily practice of solving puzzles and puzzles can delay the aging of your brain for a long time, and this is also a proven fact!
