There are so many different variables that can be discussed when it comes to brain plasticity; unfortunately, they cannot all fit in a three minute video designed for undergraduate students. :) But to anyone who may be reading your comment and get discouraged, I would point out that there is a difference between normal, healthy aging and aging with disease; however, researchers have found even when someone is experiencing cognitive decline as they age, there are (1) evidence based ways to slow decline (e.g., aerobic exercise) and (2) evidence that some people with significant amounts of neural deterioration that were able to live their lives without significant or noticeable impairment. For anyone that would like to learn more, Rowe and Kahn's (1999) book titled Successful Aging is easy to read and based on results of the MacArthur Foundation Study of Aging in America. Additionally, here are some relevant articles: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3445265/ www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3258000/#:~:text=Vascular%20risk%20factors%20are%20well,decline%20across%20the%20age%20spectrum.

Can you please tell me how you did that? I'm serious. I live with a pretty bad case, and it's terrible.

@@TheBadSpoon I would highly recommend you to read the book “From stuck to unstuck“ by Matthew Codde. He also recovered from OCD and he also has a youtube channel. I first read this book to understand what the problem is. Then I started to implement the strategy. I also watched a lot of videos by him and the youtuber Ali Greymond and still use here tracking method.
