It used to be thought that brain development ended in young adulthood, but now we know (it) continues throughout life, says Paul Thompson, a UCLA neurology professor. I think George would agree that it doesn't stop in the 50s. It's just overtaken by the negative effects of aging, so that the net effect is mental decline after that age.
