Brainwork.Especially among people of venerable age, interested in both doctors and ordinary citizens. After all, no one wants to spend a period of life after 60 years with sclerosis or dementia.

The director of the George Washington University College of Medicine claims that the brain of an elderly person is much more plastic than is commonly believed. At this age, the interaction of the right and left hemispheres of the brain becomes harmonious, which expands our creative capabilities. That is why among people over 60 you can find many personalities who have just started their creative activity.

The brain doesn’t work as fast as it did when you were young. However, it gains in flexibility. That is why with age we make better decisions and are less exposed to negative emotions. The peak of human intellectual activity is approximately 70 years, when the brain begins to work at full strength.

Over time, the amount of myelin in the brain increases, a substance that contributes to the rapid passage of a signal between neurons. Due to this, intellectual abilities are increased by 300% compared to the average.

And the peak of active production of this substance falls on 60-80 years of age. Also interesting is the fact that after 60 years a person can use 2 hemispheres at the same time. This allows you to solve much more complex tasks.

Professor Monchi Uri of the University of Montreal believes that the elderly brain chooses the least energy-intensive way, reducing unnecessary and leaving only the right options for solving the problem. A study was conducted involving different age groups. When taking the tests, young people were confused, while those over 60 made the right decisions.

Now let’s look at the features of the brain at the age of 60-80 years. They're really rainbow.

Features of the brain of an elderly person

1. Brain neurons don’t die, as everyone says. Between them, connections simply disappear if a person does not engage in mental labor.
2. Dispersion and forgetfulness are due to an overabundance of information. You don’t have to focus your whole life on unnecessary things.
   
   
   
   
3. Since the age of 60, a person uses not one hemisphere at the same time, but both.
4. With a healthy lifestyle filled with mental activity, intellectual abilities do not decrease with age, but only increase, reaching a peak of 80 and sometimes 90 years.
   
   
   
   

So don't be afraid of old age. And always develop intellectually and be interested in life, for example, as does 90-year-old Olga Myasnikova. Share some interesting research with your friends on social media!
