Lɛ wi tɔk bɔt dis smɔl smɔl tide, bikɔs i rili impɔtant fɔ no bɔt dis.

Wetin na dis bren shrinkage (`Brain Atrophy`)?

fכ simpul wan, `Brain Atrophy` na di lכs fכ di sεl dεm na wi bren, dat na di nεv sεl dεm (nyuron) , εn di wik we di kכnεkshכn bitwin dεn sεl dεm de wik.

Yes, strɔng kɔnekshɔn de bitwin `Brain Atrophy` ɛn `Dementia` (wi kin kɔl am sik we kin mek pɔsin nɔ ebul fɔ mɛmba , sik we kin mek pɔsin fɔgɛt). Infakt, `Dementia` na wan sik wae de mek di bren shrink pasmak. `Dementia` na wan jεnarכl nem fכ wan grup fכ kכndyushכn dεm we de rili ambɔg di abiliti fכ tink, we de afekt evride layf .
