Why your brain shrinks with age

Did you know that the brains of chimpanzees do not shrink with age? It's true.

In a recent study, researchers compared the volume of brain matter in 99 chimps encompassing their adult lifespan of 10-51 years of age. They then compared the findings to human brains structure in 87 adults, aged 22-88 years. Human brains shrunk throughout their normal lifespan, while chimp brains don't shrink at all.
