@agewellwithdrstep: Your brain never fully stops rewiring itself, even in your 90s. Research shows neurogenesis, the birth of new neurons, persists throughout the human lifespan. Even in older adults, the hippocampus continues producing thousands of new neurons and progenitor cells, though the pace slows with age. • Boldrini et al. Human Hippocampal Neurogenesis Persists Throughout Aging. Cell Stem Cell, 2018. #NeuroplasticityAtAnyAge #BrainHealth #HealthyAging #Neuroscience #longevityscience

What I’m hearing is that there’s no point because when I’m 90 it’s all going to be mush

Neuroplasticity is the ability to rewire connections between neurons! It is not neurogenesis, which is the birth of new neurons. And adult neurogenesis is a controversial area right now. But yes, the brain is very plastic and continues to adapt and change throughout the whole lifetime!
