I don't see anything incorrect about this headline. "Age-related brain decline starts at 24" is a pretty safe title that accurately represents the contents of the article. The subtitle "Popular game Starcraft 2 used as a measure of brain speed" provides additional clarification, as subtitles are intended to do.

In my view, the headline is linkbait, plus it's misleading to use the word "brain" for one kind of cognitive reaction. There are probably some brain functions that are most active in babies, but that wouldn't make it correct to say "brain decline begins in infancy".
