520			_a"An isolated, island-like community reaches a certain point in its development, and suddenly the population starts to shrink. There will be no replacement members for the community--it's downhill from here on out. Sound like the latest iteration of the television show 'Survivor'? It's also pretty close to what neurologists formerly believed would happen to the cells in an aging but healthy human brain....In the past five years, though, a new picture of the aging but healthy brain has won out over the old. The most important question for researchers now isn't how many contestants leave the island--it's how the passage of time can make some of the contestants cranky and dysfunctional." (JOHNS HOPKINS MAGAZINE) This article examines brain function research and relays that "there may be quite a few ways that healthy aging can disrupt the function of the many different types of brain cells.".
