You don\u2019t get smarter, you don\u2019t get wiser &#8230; Your back hurts more, you get more indigestion &#8230; It\u2019s a bad business, getting old. I\u2019d advise you not to do it if you can avoid it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Creaking bones and bad digestion notwithstanding, is that really the only face of aging? Turns out, it\u2019s not. At least for the fortunate few, old age may not be Woody Allenesque; instead old age is when they become compassionate and wise. Yes, wise.<\/p>\n<p>While aging diminishes activity in certain brain regions, there\u2019s tantalizing evidence this may be compensated by changes in brain regions associated with supportive and social behavior. This shift in brain activity may foster wisdom in some people, a way of being that moves one away from self-centeredness toward emotional equanimity and wider social consciousness. We may even be able to work toward wisdom in old age.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nautil.us\/issue\/36\/aging\/the-wisdom-of-the-aging-brain\">READ MORE IN\u00a0NAUTIL<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival premiere of You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, director Woody Allen was asked about aging.
