Phew! what a relief. Just read the findings of a study (sorry, yes another one, I do so like sharing these with you all) – this one done at Tubingen University in Germany, and apparently older brains do not lose capacity they simply take longer to process the huge amount of information gathered over a lifetime.

According to Dr. Michael Ramscar, the brain works slower in old age, but only because we have stored more information over time. Apparently the brains of older people do not get weak – they know more.

Here I was, saying goodbye to the millions of brain cells I thought I was losing every day – told they would never be replaced – and all the time I have just been getting a larger and larger filing cabinet up there in the old noggin’.

No wonder I have a head ache – it’s my old brain expanding…..
