A study led by Dr. Lori Cook shows that people in their 70s and 80s can improve cognitive abilities through intensive brain training, challenging the belief that cognitive decline is inevitable with age. However, experts caution that improvements tend to be specific to trained skills, and broader cognitive benefits remain unproven. Physical exercise, quality sleep, and social engagement are currently the most effective ways to maintain brain health.

• 01Intensive brain training improves cognitive skills in elderly participants similarly to younger people.
• 02Cognitive decline is not inevitable and depends more on health and lifestyle than age alone.
• 03Brain training benefits are often specific to practiced skills, with limited evidence of broader transfer.
• 04Physical aerobic exercise and quality sleep are crucial for maintaining overall brain health.
• 05Social interaction and managing general health also significantly impact cognitive function.
• 06Enjoyable, challenging activities promote motivation and sustained cognitive benefits.
