Well, honey, what you got there is some fancy talk for saying there's some mild shrinkage going on in the ol' brain. Those ventricles, fissures, and sulci are just spaces and grooves that are a bit more noticeable due to the brain losing a little volume. It's nothing to lose sleep over, just a natural part of aging for some folks.

The ventricles of the cerebral cortex running thru the channels and folds of the brain are more visible due to mild shrinkage of the entire brain.
