Although the brain slows as we age, apparently new research shows that this merely helps to develop greater insight as the brain is less disposed to impulsive decisions.

Yet more evidence to support the retention of older workers.

Well the retirement age has just been raised so that's a positive step in the right direction.

All sounds very logical to me.  But perhaps with that lack of impulse also comes a lack of doing anything dynamic that breaks new ground?
