Seemed like Cousteau was quite sharp well into his eighties and he certainly had some 'down' time.

The picture doesn't seem to be very clear yet. I like this quote from Alert Diver | Effects of Diving on the Brain:
"In fact, the studies could not disprove a hypothesis that the decision to start diving may be the first sign of brain damage."
Hey, what are you trying to say about us divers and diving? um...um...um...s**t, forgot what I was going to say
....oh well, anyone for another dive??

I'm no clinical statistician, but they describe a study design so simple and uncontrolled as to render the study useless. They appear to have gotten a very skewed representation of diver experience as well. Divers averaged 55% of dives >30msw? WTF? My ratio is ~1%.
I'm so excited this is merely proof that my tinnitus means nothing and my dementia is within acceptable parameters. wooohooo
Well, have you seen any decline in function in those 52+ years?
