  • Abstract
    Psychiatrist and neuroscientist Gary Small, of the University of California at Los Angeles, invented the first brain scan that showed physical evidence of brain aging and Alzheimer´s disease in living patients. He´s since focused his research on young and old brains, revealing that technological overexposure causes significant changes in neural circuitry.
