Describe the changes in the older adult's brain outlined in the text.

On Jun 10, 2024


As people age, there are several changes that occur in the older adult's brain. These changes include a decrease in brain volume and weight, particularly in the frontal lobes and hippocampus. There is also a reduction in the number of neurons and synapses, as well as a decrease in the production of neurotransmitters. Additionally, there may be an increase in the presence of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, which are associated with Alzheimer's disease. These changes can lead to cognitive decline, including difficulties with memory, attention, and problem-solving. However, it's important to note that not all older adults will experience these changes to the same extent, and factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and overall health can play a role in the aging brain.
