廉頗老矣，但精神矍鑠，記憶力不減，認(rèn)知能力絲毫不遜于中年人。你也想成為這樣的“超級(jí)老者”嗎？

It is “normal” for old age to be associated with gradual decline in memory and brain mass. However, there are anecdotal reports of individuals who seem immune to age-related memory impairment.
老年常與記憶力衰退和腦萎縮聯(lián)系在一起。但也有些趣聞報(bào)道稱，有些人似乎對(duì)與年齡相關(guān)的記憶衰退具有免疫力。

Superagers are people over age 80 who have memories of healthy 50- to 60-year-olds.
“超級(jí)老者”指的是年齡超過80歲，但記憶力相當(dāng)于五六十歲老者的老年人。

A new study is revealing interesting brain characteristics in older adults who aren’t aging like most. So-called superagers have cognitive abilities like those of much younger people.
一項(xiàng)最新研究揭示出了沒有像同齡人一樣衰老的老年人有趣的大腦特征。這些“超級(jí)老者”的認(rèn)知能力和比他們年輕很多的人一樣。

Scientists are working to discover the unique characteristics of the superagers by studying their brains. Research is showing that the superager brain is protected from the atrophy normally associated with aging, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
科學(xué)家們正通過研究超級(jí)老者的大腦來發(fā)現(xiàn)其獨(dú)有特質(zhì)。研究顯示，超級(jí)老者的大腦沒有出現(xiàn)通常與衰老、癡呆癥和阿爾茲海默癥相關(guān)的腦萎縮。
