The ageing brain is not a failing brain. It is a brain that is changing, and some of those changes represent losses while others represent gains that younger brains cannot replicate. This fully referenced article explores the genuine neuroscience of ageing, distinguishes normal age-related change from pathological decline, examines why certain cognitive functions improve with age while others deteriorate, and confronts the cultural narrative of inevitable cognitive collapse with data that paints a far more nuanced and substantially more hopeful picture.
