The nervous system requires a high and continuous energy requirement and despite the brain represents only 2% of the body weight it receives about 15% of the cardiac output and consumes 20% of oxygen. The neuronal activity therefore determines a significant increase in energy consumption thus favoring the fact that the brain, during aging, becomes the seat of crucial structural and functional changes that condition the health in a fundamental way.

Abstract
The nervous system requires a high and continuous energy requirement and despite the brain represents only 2% of the body weight it receives about 15% of the cardiac output and consumes 20% of oxygen. The neuronal activity therefore determines a significant increase in energy consumption thus favoring the fact that the brain, during aging, becomes the seat of crucial structural and functional changes that condition the health in a fundamental way.
