    • Abstract:
      SINCE AT LEAST THE 1500s, THE ADAGE "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" has preached the impossibility of schooling older folks. Conventional fixes like crossword puzzles and brain-training apps can contribute to mental longevity. That's why neuroscientist Kennedy hopes we can kick the "old dogs, new tricks" canard to the curb. [Extracted from the article]
