True to a certain extent. We will not be crumbling while getting older in NW. Right now I’m tall dark and handsome and I will be that way trillions of years from now too. Plus, Jehovah always been old. Daniel 7:13.

Transcript :

A healthy human brain has up to a 100 billion nerve cells making trillions of connections with each other. Recent research suggests a normal part of aging involves forgetting less important memories to help make room for new ones.

The problem comes when normal forgetting is coupled with an abnormal process causing dementia.

Dr. Jonathan LaPook : I would say by far the biggest fear my patients have is that they're losing it. Right and very often it'll start with I couldn't think of a name. I mean it was somebody who I know so well. Right how important is that? How worried should they be?

Dr. Louise Aronson : I would say  they should not be worried

While many imaging tests show what the internal organs look like, a SPECT scan can show how well the organs are working. For instance, a SPECT scan can show how well blood is flowing to the heart; what areas of the brain are more active or less active; or what parts of the bone are affected by cancer.

 

Brain disorders

A SPECT test creates a detailed, 3D map of the blood flow activity in the brain, which can help see which parts of the brain are being affected by:

 

Clogged blood vessels. SPECT scanning can find issues with blood flow in the brain. It can help diagnose or check on vascular brain disorders, such as moyamoya disease, a condition in which the arteries in the brain become blocked or narrowed.
