"I understand we lose brain cells as we age but it was my understanding that we have more than enough to last us two lifetimes." Maybe. At what point does the loss start to impair functionality? If geriatric medicine can extend average lifetime beyond 100, what then? Which is not to say it is possible. So far, what we are mainly doing is ensuring that people are in good health until the end. But what if they find the key? Then the brain cell loss becomes very significant.
