“Age-related changes affect all organs and systems of the human body,” says Rustem Sadykov. — Aging of the central nervous system (CNS) occurs slowly and graduallyis determined by pronounced atrophic processes: the mass of the brain decreases, the cortex of the cerebral hemispheres, which is responsible for higher nervous activity, emotions, intelligence, and also the cerebellum, becomes thinner, which explains lack of coordination of movements, unsteadiness of gait, loss of balance.
Age-related changes in the brain are a set of processes, such as disorders of the structure of nerve cellsintercellular connections, a decrease in the volume of gray matter, leading to a gradual fading of intelligence, the expert notes.
“This is manifested in memory loss, difficulty concentrating, learning difficulties,” says Rustem Sadykov. – Age-related changes occur in everyone, regardless of gender and social status, however lifestyle, education, level of culture and occupation are still of great importance.
