An intriguing finding. Is there a place for non paywalled full article? http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/141119/ncomms6504/full/ncomms6504.html http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/141119/ncomms6504/full/nco... wants money I really do wonder how challenging the task was that there was no difference between trained younger and older brains. Or perhaps there was a difference between young and old trainees but that was not the focus of the research? Pretty much learning anything substantial is much harder later in life and true mastery is impossible if you start after your teenage years. Case in point: chess, where the only recent exception has been GM John Shaw http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_K._Shaw http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_K._Shaw who started his improvement late (at the grand old age of 19) and even then he only got to low GM level.
