What causes the loss of "computational power" and the appearance of symptoms of old age to occur?
A)When an individual reaches approximately 60 years old
B)When unused or redundant neural pathways are pruned
C)When there is significant loss of dendritic interconnectivity
D)When neuron loss reaches the peak of 25,000 eliminated neurons daily

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As an individual ages, there is a significant loss of dendritic interconnectivity within the brain. This loss of interconnectivity leads to a decrease in computational power, which can result in the appearance of symptoms of old age. This loss of connectivity may also contribute to cognitive decline and the development of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.
