LONG BRAIN AND PONS. THEIR STRUCTURE AND CHANGES WITH AGE.
Keywords:
Long brain, age, gets older, neurons, pons.Abstract
This article is about long brain and pons and their structure, changes with age. As we age, our brains shrink in size, especially in the frontal cortex. As our vasculature ages and our blood pressure rises, the likelihood of stroke and ischemia increases, and white matter lesions develop. Memory decline also occurs with age, and brain activation during memory-related tasks becomes more bilateral.
