Can our brains age gracefully and in the 21st century? This week on All in the Mind, we hear from Pennsylvania State University's Professor K Warner Schaie, leader of the world famous Seattle Longitudinal Study, considered to be one of the most extensive psychological studies into ageing in world history. It's even been instrumental in the lifting of the retirement age in the United States. After half a century's work, Professor Shaie's discovered many secrets to maintaining mental strength in old age, and they may surprise you. Believe it or not, marrying someone smarter than yourself could shore up brain capacity in later life!
