From, “A Sharper Mind, Middle Age and Beyond,” by Patricia Cohen, 1/19/12, The New York Times:
Of course, certain capabilities fall off as you approach 50. Memories of where you left the keys or parked the car mysteriously vanish. Words suddenly go into hiding as you struggle to remember the guy, you know, in that movie, what was it called? And calculating the tip on your dinner check seems to take longer than it used to.
Yet it is also true that there is no preordained march toward senescence.
Senescence: the state or process of ageing, especially in humans; old age
