8legs: Human connectome project

#1 out of 1

Exploring why adapting to the environment is more difficult as people age

Older adults show stronger links between certain brain structures and adaptive behavior than younger adults.
Researchers used the Human Connectome Project to map brain communication supporting adaptability.
Biological features of aging-related structures deteriorate over time, aligning with reduced adaptability.
The study connects brain structure changes to age-related behavioral adaptability shifts.
Findings come from analyses of neuroimaging studies and a large-scale data set.
Two adult life periods were examined to relate brain changes to adaptability.
The UK Biobank dataset provided additional imaging data supporting the findings.
The work supports the idea that aging brain structures are tied to adaptability changes.
The study points to potential measures for identifying age-related brain changes.
eNeuro and EurekAlert provide context about aging, brain networks, and adaptability.
