Scientists have discovered why a few lucky people 80 years-plus retain their razor-sharp memories, performing as well as people 30 years younger. They appear to resist the usual signs of cognitive decline because their brains are biologically young. Researchers in the United States have determined that they are far less likely to have a build-up of the toxins, amyloid and tau, which can spread in the brain and cause memory problems by forming plaques and tangles that interfere with brain cell function and are thought to drive Alzheimer’s. The team says that these \u201dsuper-agers\u201d show no significant thinning of the brain’s outer layer, the cortex, which plays a key role in decision-making and memory. Professor Sandra Weintraub, neuropsychologist at Northwestern University says that the \u201cearth-shattering\u201d findings could pave the way to new methods to prevent or delay memory decline in later life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
