Brains of elderly are slow because they know so much....
By Sarah Knapton, Science Correspondent
Older
people do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to
recall facts because they have more information in their brains,
scientists believe. Much like a computer struggles as the hard drive
gets full up, so too do humans take longer to access information, it has
been suggested
Researchers say this
slowing down it is not the same as cognitive decline. The human brain
works slower in old age,” said Dr. Michael Ramscar, “but only because we
have stored more information over time “The brains of older people do
not get weak. On the contrary, they simply know more.”
Also,
older people often go to another room to get something and when they
get there, they stand there wondering what they came for. It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature's way of making older people do more exercise.
