Summary Introduction
To determine:
The anatomical and functional changes in the brain linked to the alteration that occur with aging.
Concept introduction:
Several changes occur in anatomy and physiology of the nervous system with advancing age. These changes deteriorate the overall functioning of the brain. The higher cerebral functions such as memory, learning and emotions decline with age.
