Memory

A new study found that eighty-year-olds with particularly sharp memory have a significantly higher number of young nerve cells in the hippocampus region of the brain.

"This is biological proof that their brains are more plastic, and a real discovery that shows that neurogenesis of young neurons in the hippocampus may be a contributing factor," said Tamar Gefen.

Studies show that not only genetics determine memory status in older age. These are the daily actions that activate brain regions and help maintain quick thinking even in the later decades of life.
