A new study published on arXiv explores the relationship between shape variations in subcortical brain structures and cognitive changes in individuals during their eighth decade of life. Utilizing neuroimaging and cognitive data from the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936, researchers observed heterogeneous atrophy patterns across various subcortical regions, including the hippocampus, thalamus, and globus pallidus. The findings indicate that specific shape deformations in these areas are associated with general cognitive decline in aging individuals. AI
