Brain shrinkage is not that the outer size of the brain gets less, it is the chambers in the center of the brain get larger, so the brain does get smaller from the inside. It is normal with aging, just accelerated with MS. Lesions, black holes, etc. are something else. But, since there is really nothing you can do about it, why worry?
