Abstract
Whether it's a special episode on the PBS series, "The Secret Life of the Brain" or an entire issue dedicated to the topic in the journal Science, a better understanding of the aging brain is viewed as a key to an improved quality of life in a world where people live longer. Despite dementia and other neurobiological disorders that are associated with aging, improved imaging has revealed that even into our seventies, our brains continue producing new neurons. Our author writes about how mental health functions react to the normal aging process, including why an aging brain may even form the basis for wisdom.
无论是美国公共广播公司(PBS)系列节目《大脑的秘密生活》(the Secret Life of the Brain)的特别节目，还是《科学》(Science)杂志专门针对这一主题的一期专刊，更好地了解大脑衰老被视为提高生活质量的关键，因为在这个世界上，人们的寿命越来越长。尽管老年痴呆症和其他神经生物学疾病与衰老有关，但改进后的成像技术表明，即使到了70多岁，我们的大脑仍在继续产生新的神经元。我们的作者写了心理健康功能对正常衰老过程的反应，包括为什么衰老的大脑甚至可能形成智慧的基础。
