Brain Shape Changes Linked to Cognitive Decline in Elderly

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

    Subcortical Shape Variations and Their Associations with Cognition Across the 8th Decade of Life. A Study in the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936

    arXiv:2605.29703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The study of brain morphology changes in normal individuals may capture aspects of functionally-relevant brain aging not fully indicated by gross volumetry. Despite the important role of subcortical brain structures in cognition, …
