" At which ages might interventions for cognitive decline be the most effective? "

    The brain goes through a variety of changes as we age.
    Some of these changes can lead to age-related cognitive decline.
    There are potential interventions for slowing age-related cognitive decline, including medications and lifestyle changes.
    A new study has found that because of the way the brain gets older, there are certain ages where cognitive decline interventions might be most effective.

As we grow older, every organ in our body — including the brain — ages along with us.

The brain undergoes some changes as it ages, including shrinkage and loss of some neurons, which can lead to symptoms of age-related cognitive decline, such as memory loss, slower thinking, and trouble learning new things.

Researchers are constantly looking for new interventions to help slow down the progression of age-related cognitive decline, including medications, cognitive stimulation, and lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.

Now, a new study recently published in the journal PNAS has found that because of the way the brain gets older, there are certain ages where cognitive decline interventions might be most effective.
