Okay here's one for those my age. What happens when you try new things, will you be able to learn again? Will your brain still grow new brain cells? (called neurons)
One of the most important developments in neuroscience was when the official dogma claiming that there was no neurogenesis (production of new brain cells) in the adult brain was toppled. Now we know that the brain is “plastic” meaning that, under the right circumstances, the brain can change in terms of both producing new cells and getting more cells connected to each other.
This is good news to all seniors. Its time to get off the couch and live life to the full! Learn a new musical instrument or start blogging - its good for the brains. I now have blogging neurons; hoorah!
Ahem,... I assume brains are needed for blogging. Last night, a good friend pointed out that brainless blogs do attract quite a readership too.
Also, I went to the mensa page (www.mensa.org.sg)and it looks like a blog or run by a blog engine. Is it or isn't? Any one care to elucidate?
