Переведите If you hold a pen in your ’wrong’ hand, writing becomes uncomfortable and difficult. But keep doing it and you will get better at it — you learn. This is because connections between neurons in your brain get stronger, and your brain grows.In our early years our brains grow very fast as we learn language, writing, numbers, music, and now to coordinate movement. By the time we are teenagers, each neuron in our brain has connected to tens of thousands of other neurons, and every time we have a new thought or memory, our brains make new connections.Just as muscles get stronger by using them, the brain develops when it is stimulated. Without stimulation, it gradually dies.A healthy brain does not lose huge numbers of brain cells as it ages. It continues to rewire itself and grow new neurons. However, degenerative brain diseases are very common in old age, and so we associate ageing with diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.Even though these diseases are very common in the elderly, it is a mistake to think that old age automatically equals mental decline. When elderly people who do not have Alzheimer’s disease suffer age-related losses of memory and motor skills, it is often not because of ageing, but because of inactivity and lack of mental stimulation.
