    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Gerontology

    Background:

    • Aging impacts the central nervous system (CNS) across species.
    • Decades of research have explored age-related CNS changes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review literature on aging and the CNS.
    • To identify inconsistencies and propose solutions for future research.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review spanning the last century.
    • Analysis of studies on macroscopic and microscopic brain changes.
    • Inclusion of biochemical aspects of aging.

    Main Results:

    • Significant inconsistencies exist in aging data within and between species.
    • Variability in research techniques and lack of standardized terminology contribute to contradictory findings.
