Changes associated with ‘normal’ aging Brain shrinkage, regression of processes/synapses Inclusions Changes in levels of neurotransmitters and their receptors Degenerative diseases – abnormal aging Cortical plaques containing irregular cell processes and beta- amyloid, activated glial cells. Cellular changes in Alzheimer’s disease. Neurofibrillary tangles in hippocampal neurons Altered blood vessels

Older adults actually use different regions of the brain and more of the brain than younger adults to perform the same memory and information processing tasks. Overall, Reuter-Lorenz believes that older adults benefit from bi-hemispheric processing. Using two hemispheres instead of one, and more of the brain overall, may allow seniors to compensate for some of the mental declines that come with age.
