What you'll learn

Ageing causes changes in the brain and nervous system and results in atrophy. Signal relay through nerve cells occurs slower than in the past. Plaques and tangles form in the brain. Slowing of thought, memory, and thinking is a normal part of aging. These changes are not the same in everyone. read more »»

Ageing can be complicated by the occurrence of diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Delirium changes thinking and behaviour. Other causes such as infections, certain medications, poorly controlled diabetes may also be responsible for pathological ageing.

While one cannot prevent ageing, one can strive towards a healthy phase of life. Learn more about the neurological changes in the elderly in this course designed by Medvarsity and Dosily.
