Scientists are now discovering the mechanisms that explain the appearance of all these unique features, and trying to understand how they can be suppressed. For example, recently American scientists have found that conservatism and caution of the elderly was associated with a decrease in the volume of that part of the brain that is responsible for making risky decisions.

Researchers from the Higher school of Economics tried to understand, what is another common senile trait — the tendency to slow reading of any books, documents, and other sources of written information.
