Abstract
Background: Every living thing ages, yet it seems that a person’s activities and interactions with their surroundingsmay slow down to the point where their performance begins to deteriorate. Since cognition is linked to corticaland subcortical regions, these regions’ deterioration is typically followed by a decline in cognition.
