title: Brain bioelectric activity in aging.
abstract: The data characterizing age-related changes in the brain bioelectric activity are analyzed. The above changes concern a delayed frequency spectrum of the main EEG rhythms, an increased number of pathological EEG components, a decreased reactivity, and a disturbed structure of the sleep EEG. The long-lived individuals have shown a delayed intensity of age-related changes in the brain electrogenesis. The specifics of age-related changes in the brain electrogenesis are determined by both the social-environmental and genetic factors.
