Le Whims of Mine

milesian:

A healthy human brain (left) compared to the brain of a 90 year old (right) which is only two thirds the size of the young brain. Over time, white matter decreases and the brain shrinks. This gradual shrinkage is most extreme between age 70 and 80. 

Muh brain must’ve been shrinking faster than I thought.
