You're brainiest at 39

 

A new research claims that our brain is fastest at 39 and afterwards, it declines “at an accelerating rate.”

The loss of a fatty skin that coats neurons.during middle age causes the slowdown, experts say.

 

The coating acts as insulation, similar to the plastic covering on an electrical cable, and allows for fast bursts of signals around the body and brain.

 

When the sheath deteriorates, signals passing along the neurons in the brain slow down. This means reaction times in the body are slower too.
