Our brains will shrink

  1. "After age 30, the brain loses about 50,000 neurons a day. Shrinking by .25% each year."

    I'm not too worried! lol [​IMG]


    Granny :wave:

     
  4. assuming that .25% is constant. That means if you live to be 75, you lost 10% of your brain mass.

    If you are 75 and need to use more of your brain than you did when you were 30, you did life all wrong and need to sit the fuck back and relax cause you already lived your life lol
     
  5. It's how you use what you have (or will have) that counts.
     
  6. what happens if youve already lost a good proportion of it? just die or somthing
     
  7. Good thing we only use like 1% of it anyway


    Inb4 I'm proven wrong

    Lol they say 10%, and its at a time. Like we can only access that much at once, not that you never access 90% of the brain hahahaha

    Inb4 someone points out your inb4
     
  9. .25% each year? No big deal lol. Plus, I've met hundreds of sharp 70+ people.
     
  10. what is your source for these claims?
     
  11. My grandmother is 90 years old. She also has dementia (early stages). Yet she acts far more intelligent and sociable then most of the people I run into these days.

    What does that say about the statistics ?
     
  12. Without trying to offend, I must say; not that much, since generally speaking, statistics would contain many more data points than just your grandmother :p

  14. granny and sir just made everything okay! lol and yeah i mean if your acutally thinking hard at 70 you fucked something up somewhere lol
     
  15. Interesting fact:

    There was something in Einstein's brain (can't remember what) that stopped this aging process from happening.
     
  16. Not much of a fact! :p
     
  17. herm...we use 100% of our brains...look at some fucking brain scans lol
     
  18. :eek: will i be able to feel it shrinking
     
  19. [quote name='"RavenousDank"']herm...we use 100% of our brains...look at some fucking brain scans lol[/quote]

    Yes, but on average the normal person is able to access 10% at a single time. A brain scan is taken over more than one moment and thoughts and processes have occured so of course it shows a more active brain.
     
  20. That's a myth.
