Normal Aging
What happens in the brain when we age? Changes in the brain's structure have been described in the scientific research literature, as well as changes in how these structural elements perform their functions. Much of this work has focused on individuals with brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's Disease or Vascular Dementia, and while we examine those conditions as well, we are interested in the characteristics of what might be termed "successful aging."
