If certain cognitive functions begin to decline around the age of 25-30, 35 for the luckiest, it is not these physiological factors that handicap the most but the emotions, fear in particular.

After 30, 40 or 50 years, we sometimes have the feeling of being too old to learn to play an instrument, to speak a new language or to embark on new studies.

Is this feeling justified?

Is there an age limit from which our brain is no longer able to learn?
