A healthy aging brain, and how these changes affect our memories Do you know how?
Anadolu Medical Center Professor of Neurology Specialist. Dr. Turker Şahiner, ten-year period with a healthy aging brain explained.
When you experience occasional forgetfulness of Alzheimer's since you're scared? Forgetfulness in daily life, in fact, all of you are experiencing is caused by the intensity Did you know? However, there is a known fact that it moves our age our brain function is experiencing some losses.
Often different than any other organ in our body, our brain thinks we are. However, just as our brains as well as other organs over time, some changes in our lives. Contrary to popular belief, the brain's nerve cells (neurons) begin to fade with age and not in public. Research, some neurons were lost, but really, albeit a slow production of new neurons suggests. In fact, the brain is the nerve cells begin to shrink.
"Good genes and a healthy lifestyle even if these changes help to delay or stop the process completely impossible," said Professor Anadolu Medical Center Neurology Specialists. Dr. Şahiner Turker, told stages of brain aging.
20s: In this age of the people in the long-term memories and sophisticated reasoning and be able to create a sense of his mental capacity would be at its peak. Creativity in this year's summit is likely to do. In this age of human creativity, but also a time limit is not known. Many writers, artists and musicians in this age will spend their most creative period. A slight shrinkage of neurons in the brain, small physical changes, such as people begin at the age of 20s.
30s age: junk rating, albeit in smaller neurons in the brain by volume starts to decline slowly. To perform cognitive tests occurred in some regions of the small decline can be detected. These small signs of cognitive decline, but what individuals usually are not noticed by what surrounds.
Of the 40s: in the forties, many people, especially active (short term) memory, as some in the field of mental process that feels a bit slow. To remember phone numbers, to make head or memory-based account, challenging card game to play is more tiring than the previous year. Slow decrease in brain volume may continue and even accelerate.
50s Games: Fifty-brain volume decreased with age accelerate the process of memory with authentication and other more significant changes in the areas of understanding will emerge. In this age of people in learning something new to learn, but requires more time and information that often is forgotten. Remember the words and names to take longer than before. More than one process simultaneously becomes more difficult to engage. The attention to detail is reduced. Has been the venue of an event to remember and difficult time. Visual-spatial processing becomes more difficult to do.
60s: Brain volume loss continues. The brain's memory and other cognitive skills required for buildings is especially vulnerable. Compared to youth in such structures can be reduced by 25 percent. Began to show itself in the 50s and 60s in the cognitive changes become more noticeable. Slower rate of cognitive action learning new information, or to specialize in complex intellectual work gets harder. However, to focus and not being affected by the power factor becomes a distraction. Create new memories in the brain and memory will remember the memories will be difficult to find associations. "At the end of my tongue" experience because the brain becomes increasingly common names, dates and words are difficult to access more toil.
And after the 70 years of age: 80 years in the 70's and older people's cognitive abilities vary. Many in this age to maintain vigilance to one side will continue to learn. For others, that the bodies of high blood pressure, diabetes, excessive alcohol use in people is destroyed because of health problems such as memory and general cognitive ability is observed in the severe regression. Dementia in people who suffer the symptoms of this disorder usually begins to be seen between the ages of 75-80.
