The brain and central nervous system shrink as we age.

<h3>What happens to the brain when we age?</h3>

The brain is one of the most important organs in our body because all the nerve signals are produced there for our body to function.

In the brain we find nerve connections through neurons. A particular aspect of them is that during childhood and adolescence they multiply as we learn new things.

However, once we reach the stage of old age, these nerve connections deteriorate and are reduced, therefore, the size of the brain and the central nervous system decreases.
