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.
