What does current research suggest about neuroplasticity in older adults?
There's evidence for continued brain reorganization and adaptability throughout life, including during old age.
Neuroplasticity halts after middle adulthood leading to cognitive deficits in later years.
Older brains cannot adapt or reorganize due to rigid neural networks.
Brain plasticity only occurs during early childhood and adolescence stages of development.
