Basically, it says that the insulation (white matter) of the brain’s wiring breaks down with age and that that is a normal process which results in less than optimal cognitive (thinking) function.

Maybe we've learned not to sweat the small stuff - so aren't cluttering up the brain with stuff not needed at the time - don't need as many connections firing all at once...we learn how to sort out and how to pace...we've learned the sky probably won't fall today, so enjoy the sun
