Re: Brain peaks at 39 years of age and declines thereafter
#2I just turned 27. I've been told we learned more about the brain in the 90s than all previous history combined. My hope is the given the amount of research going into myelin breakdown because of diseases like MS, by the time I'm 39, that date can be pushed back a bit. Escape velocity with respect to anti-aging is a delightful idea.

The article says they found a striking correlation - I wonder how one gets to be one of the outlying data points (on the good side)?
What's the betting it can be affected with dietary changes?

My hope is... that date can be pushed back a bit.
You and me both - else I have just over 5 years til my brain peaks.

#5This study is more rigorous than this title implies. It isn't about age vs. mental acuity; it's a test of myelin density vs. mental acuity. Myelin tends to disappear as we get older, after about age 39, so that is how these researchers got the connection to aging.

'The Brain Trust Program', by McCleary, a neurosurgeon tells what is known that you can do now. Not that neurosurgery repairs myelin, just that he keeps up with the literature.

#7Good thing sheer brain power is only a small part of achieving remarkable things.

this study is just a whole lot of bullshit.

You over 39?
