What happens during the disease - senile degeneration of brain, not elsewhere classified
Senile degeneration of the brain is a degenerative condition caused by a combination of age-related and environmental factors. it is characterized by a progressive decline of neural function due to the accumulation of age-related changes in the brain, such as a decrease in the number of neurons, a decrease in the number of synapses, and an increase in the amount of lipofuscin deposits. this results in a decrease in cognitive abilities, memory, and motor coordination. it can also lead to changes in behavior and personality.
