According to lecturer Mora, 'eating less, doing exercise, learning, memorising daily and being eager to live are key factors that make it possible to delay brain ageing'. He talked about these issues at the University of Deusto, in a lecture in which he tried to 'define the ageing process of the human brain, at the same time as he threw out old dogmas about the brain'. In his opinion, 'brain neurons do not die in a generalised way during the ageing process and there is a production of new neurons in certain areas of the aged adult brain'. In fact, he believes that the brain does not age in a homogeneous way in all its areas or systems, but in an asynchronous way among them.
