Scientists have identified the main cause that leads to aging of the human brain, reports Rus.Media. US experts believe that the main factor influencing this is the appearance of random mutations.

Controversy among scientists about which mechanism underlies the fact that the human brain is subject to aging, have been going on for a long time. Currently, perhaps, the explanation of this phenomenon has brought the latest research.

U.S. geneticists has identified a set of genes that affect aging grey cells”, informs a portal “Version.Info”. For research, in particular, used the prefrontal cortex of people who died long ago, but bequeathed to their storage of certain organs in the Biobank. Some of them before her death was healthy. Others – no.

Scientists have found that the number of mutations in the human brain grows as he Matures. The reason for this, as a rule, there were errors in the DNA. As a result, the accumulation, and the brain begins to age. He is not able to good memorization. Then, gradually, loss of memory, up to absolute.
