La plasticité diminue-t-elle avec l'âge? [...] Non seulement elle diminue, mais cela va de pair avec une perte de neurones qui entraîne une altération des grandes fonctions cognitives et des états de conscience. La situation peut devenir très invalidante, par exemple chez les personnes atteintes de la maladie d'Alzheimer. Chez le sujet âgé, l'amincissement du cortex et la perte de neurones deviennent trop difficiles à surmonter pour que le processus d'apprentissage puisse continuer normalement.
