To which extent does the brain not repair neurons already?
- KronisLV 5y agoIn regards to the physical changes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2596698/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2596698/ > It has been widely found that the volume of the brain and/or its weight declines with age at a rate of around 5% per decade after age 401 with the actual rate of decline possibly increasing with age particularly over age 70. I feel like that's probably a big one without getting into the functional changes. And just adding a bunch of neurons would probably be like giving your computer a new HDD. I think that the argument is about how it's important to preserve the information contained within the old neurons somehow.
