3. Age-related Neurodegenerative changes.
Brief Answer:
Age related
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but these changes of the brain are seen normally in old age patients, related of coarse to the ageing process. As long as the patient does not suffer from any neurological symptoms as difficult speaking, walking or doing the normal activities, there is no need to worry about.
I hope you find this helpful.
