Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Brain atrophy or cerebral atrophy  is the loss of brain cells called neurons. 
Mild cases of brain atrophy may have little effect on daily functioning.
However, brain atrophy can sometimes lead to symptoms such as seizures, aphasia, and dementia.
There is no specific treatment or cure for cerebral atrophy. Some symptoms of underlying causes can be managed and treated. Controlling blood pressure and eating a healthy, balanced diet is advised.
Some research suggests that physical exercise may slow the symptoms.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
