For example, we know that the quality of information from sensory receptors in the skin and internal organs progressively deteriorates as they die off at older ages
Does this mean we're less sensitive to pain also as we grow older? Anecdotally, this seems to make sense for me.

It’s important that you train the brain in ways that suppresses and reduces that noisiness.
I'm not sure that exercise has helped that "noisiness" or my ADD tendencies. Do you endorse meditation as a way to quell this noisiness? I've tried it and my brain's just too noisy to even find the merging ramp on that road.

My comment was deleted since it wasn't a question but I'll say again, this is a very under-rated AMA. You answered many questions and very elaborately. Best AMA I've read in a while. Thanks Mr Merzenich.

Got any elaborate pointers on how you do this? I notice this also. When my head is noisiest, I can't engage my muscles/CNS to as much extent as when I'm calmer and my workout suffers.

Are there any domestic type of exercises that you'd endorse? I've heard there's lots of proof that learning a new language helps keep the brain fit. Anything else you'd recommend, besides exercise?
