Neuroplasticity brings hope for older adults who may be facing memory and thinking issues. But there are some challenges to consider:
Aging Brain Limitations: As we get older, our brains become less flexible. This means it’s tougher for older adults to make new connections in their brains.
Staying Consistent and Motivated: It's not always easy to stick with brain exercises. Many people find it hard to keep practicing regularly.
Environmental Factors: Not having stimulating environments or activities can lower the chances for the brain to change and grow.
To help with these challenges, creating structured brain training programs and building strong social networks can boost the brain’s ability to change and adapt in older adults.
