Tantalizing evidence suggests that brain activity shifts to increase wisdom as we age.
While aging diminishes activity in certain brain regions, there’s tantalizing evidence this may be compensated by changes in brain regions associated with supportive and social behavior.

We may even be able to work toward wisdom in old age.
