Aging brain: Measurement & Regions

Aging brain refers to biological and functional changes that occur in the brain as individuals advance in age. It encompasses both the normal alterations which are universally experienced and abnormalities induced by illnesses, diagnosed or not. The concept is most often used in relation to humans.
