¿Se puede evitar el declinamiento mental severo en la edad avanzada?

Antes se creía que los adultos mayores perdían neuronas cada día y que la conexión de nuevos circuitos neurales era imposible. Sin embargo, investigaciones recientes indican que muchos factores —entre ellos el ejercicio físico y mental— pueden generar nuevos circuitos neurales y de esta manera ayudar a mantener una efectiva lucidez mental. Ciertas destrezas, como la reacción rápida y la memoria, tienden a declinar cuando se envejece, pero esos declinamientos son muy leves y no interfieren con la vida productiva, debido a que la experiencia y sabiduría de la gente mayor puede contrarrestar ese declinamiento. La investigación sugiere que la gente que le pone nuevos retos a su cerebro, tiene más probabilidad de mantener la función mental activa cuando envejece, y que incluso puede alejar el riesgo de Alzheimer. Por otra parte, dado que la actividad física reduce el estrés y la depresión actúa como un protector de las funciones cerebrales. Los estudios realizados en personas centenarias, s...
