Your brain can keep improving into your 90s, study finds

Article excerpt

A three-year study of nearly 4,000 adults from 19 to 94 found that brain health can improve at any age, upending the assumption that mental sharpness inevitably declines with years. Participants who spent just minutes daily on brain-training activities showed measurable gains in thinking clarity, emotional well-being, and sense of purpose. The finding suggests that cognitive decline isn't destiny, that the brain remains plastic and responsive to intervention well into the 90s.
