Der kognitive Verfall ist kein unvermeidlicher Teil des Alterns. Eine neue 3-Jahres-Längsschnittstudie mit etwa 4.000 Erwachsenen, die in Scientific Reports veröffentlicht wurde, zeigt, dass gezielte, gehirngesunde Gewohnheiten die ganzheitliche Gehirnleistung über die gesamte Lebensspanne (im Alter von 19 bis 94 Jahren) messbar verbessern können.

But what are these daily micro habits that help improve the brain’s health?

>The system and method for precision brain health assessment is patent pending. Specifically, the Board of Regents for The University of Texas System have applied for a patent (Application Number: WO2025029876A2) that includes the BrainHealth Index and the online platform. The status is currently pending. Inventors include the following study authors: Aaron M. Tate, Sandra Chapman, Jeff Spence, Erin Venza, Lori Cook.
Also, this doesn’t really show that it improves holistic brain performance.
What is shows is that if you train someone daily to perform certain tasks, they perform better if you test them at said tasks.
Where’s the link the to study. I don’t care about news outlets interpretations, nor should you

This is a big part of why I go out of my way to find things that are interesting for my grandmother to do. She’s pushing up on 100 and had never actually successfully gardened, we’re doing that this year. A person who is disengaged from the world will atrophy their brain, we’re doing our best to keep her engaged.
a lot of cognitive decline seems to start right after a bad infection
Cognitive decline with ageing absolutely is inevitable. This is totally uncontroversial.
Saying there is zero is absolute horseshit.
Dementia is not inevitable. Cognitive ageing is.
Scientific Reports is an extremely hit-or-miss journal. Sometimes it publishes legitimate research. But I peer-reviewed a paper in my field that was basically irredeemable junk. I really wanted to like it because I’m strongly in favor of the *kind* of work they were doing, but they fucked up pretty much everything, and none of their findings or conclusions were actually justified by the work. It was flatly rejected from the field-specific journal I was reviewing for. Then it turned up published a year later in Scientific Reports.
This is an ad to sell „SMART“ training modules.
Mods remove this trash
My grandparents were sharp ask a tack until they passed, one was late eighties the other 99.
Pretty sure the secret ingredient is consistent sleep
This is absolutely untrue, cognitive decline is inevitable.
This study is entirely descriptive, with a litany of confounding elements:
* No comparison group
* Self-selection, particularly in engagement
* High dropout rate
* Self-report of improvement
These remove any ground for the causal statements being made by the authors.
