Aging Brain Insights
Research reveals that aging has a minimal impact on brain cells, with significant neuron loss being limited to specific areas. While synapses—the connections between neurons—do decline, the overall computational power of the brain relies more on these interconnections than on the sheer number of brain cells. As we age, the loss of these connections affects not just cognitive function but also movement and memory formation.In this clip
