Answer:

If you actually began losing brain cells then you could begin to have difficulties with motor and other skills. It may affect your nervous system, or pretty much anything else in your body depending on which ones you lose, meaning that your body may stop functioning properly. You may lose your ability to remember things or perform everyday tasks. It is true that some neurons die as people age because of the waste they accumulate that causes them to lose their function and degenerate. This can affect some elderly people by appearing as conditions like Alzheimer's, Dementia, or Parkinson's. While this is a natural event, some injuries or damage to the brain due to accidents, or the use of substances, cause destruction or deterioration in younger, healthier brains.
