According to aAmerican neuroscientist Bradford Dickerson of the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, their study used brain MRI technology, which showed that centenarians have more developed parts of the brain associated with emotions, language, and reactions to stress. The thicker this part of the brain was found in the participants, the better they performed on the memory test.

In addition, centenarians relate to life differently. While many polder people tend to be conservative and do not like to leave their comfort zone, centenarians are open to everything new and are ready to endure discomfort in order to master a new skill for them.

“Centenarians are distinguished by the fact that they easily leave their comfort zone, and often do this for the sake of knowledge and skills that interest them, despite possible difficulties. Perhaps it is the search for solutions to new problems that a person constantly sets for himself that is the key to increasing life expectancy, ”summed up scientific experts.
