Yes!! New research shows that one's personality might affect their brain's aging. They have found a direct correlation between brain volume and age. This was especially prominent in the emotional and social processing regions of the brain. The study showed that there was lower amounts of Grey material in the brain of those that ranked high in the neuroticism traits. Whereas, there was a higher volume of Grey matter in those who ranked high in the conscientious traits. There are many studies like this going on trying to figure out what causes Alzheimer's and ways to treat and prevent it. So far the studies have not given much help, but as they continue the studies and monitor how the patients are doing they hope there will be a correlation between these two different personality types.
