5.Contraction of front and side parts一as cells die off —was observed in some subjects in their thirties,but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
6.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age一using the head.
7.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns.Those least at risk,says Matsuzawa,are lawyers,followed by university professors and doctors.White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are,however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker,bus driver and shop assistant.
