I am 29, and so far I didn't really see any mental decline, sometimes even the reverse - I become better at learning certain stuff. Although I am also more aware that I will never be on the level some very talented people are, but it's fine.

I feel like reflexes are different than learning. Motor control definitely gets worse over time.
