True or false: The sensory regions of the brain are more vulnerable to shrinking with age than areas such as the prefrontal cortex.

False

Explanation:

The "last-in, first-out hypothesis" is a widely accepted explanation for the effects of aging on the brain. This hypothesis entails that the areas of the brain that mature last are the first ones to age or thin out with passage of time. Therefore, the pre-frontal cortex, the cerebellum and hippocampus suffer the most thinning with age.
