通过勤奋的努力，游戏者将可以看到他们的“大脑年龄”骤降，比如从反应迟缓的60岁降到反应敏锐的30岁。
After diligent effort, players routinely see their "brain age" plummet from, say, a sluggish 60 to a taut 30.
例如，如果一个小孩的脑部连通性扫描结果显示其大脑年龄为8岁，而他(她)的实际年龄是15，“我们就要开始怀疑也许他(她)的脑部出现了问题。”

近十年里我们对大脑研究最重要的发现，就是大脑在任何年龄段都极具潜力，或是按神经病学家的说法，叫“可塑性”。
The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly adaptable, or “plastic, ” as neurologists put it.
通过记忆和推理来进行智力锻炼显示可以使大脑中的一些年龄信号回复到健康水平。

坏消息是：我们大脑的记忆能力确实随我们的年龄而下降。
新的研究证明，智慧是随着年龄增长而增长的，而且智慧增长是导致大脑思考变缓和冲动变少的原因。
New research proves that wisdom develops with aging, and that wisdom is the result of the brain slowing down and the resulting decrease in impulsivity.
这些发现支持着这样的观点：随年龄增长，多任务处理能力下降。这是由于大脑在同时处理任务中的适应能力下降，同时在保持每个任务的最好表现方面也有所下降。
The findings support the idea that multi-tasking abilities decline with age, as the brain becomes less adept at juggling simultaneous tasks and maintaining peak performance for each one.
但是，走路可改善大脑对疾病的抗御能力，降低随年龄增长而造成的记忆力损伤。
But walking can improve your brain's resistance to the disease and reduce memory loss over time.
大脑皮层密度的降低与每天大量消耗香烟有关，还与抽烟者的年龄有关系。
The thickness of this region decreased in relation to heavier daily consumption of cigarettes and the number of years a person had been a smoker.
之前的研究发现，可阻挡尴尬想法的大脑部分也会随着年龄的增长而退化，导致人们有时无法自控。 换句话说，讲话直白的老年人并不是无礼，他们只是管不住自己的嘴。
Previous research has found that the part of the brain that keeps embarrassing thoughts in check also weakens with age, leading to people losing some of their inhibitions.
结论是，使用双语的过程可能对大脑产生了保护作用，因此双语使用者患老年痴呆症的年龄延后了。但我不认同这个结论。
