Do you know your real age? Simple test reveals how old your brain truly is

Ever wonder how old your brain is? Now there is a way to figure out the real age of those little gray cells. While many cognitive abilities peak when people are in their 20s, many more begin to decline as we age. However, some research suggests that the ability to focus and our vocabulary is better when we are middle-aged. The hippocampus region of the brain is the most involved in the forming and retrieval of our memories, and it usually deteriorates as people age. This means our ability to remember new information peaks in our 20s and then begins to steadily decline in our 50s and 60s. The ability to remember new information is often how the age of our brains is judged. The simple, quick test, called Word List Recall, starts by showing users a list of 15 words they have to memorize and recall later. Each word is shown one after the other, and is only on your screen for one second.
