Reorganization of brain networks and its association with general cognitive performance over the adult lifespan

Abstract Healthy aging is associated with structural and functional changes in the brain even in individuals who are free of neurodegenerative diseases. Using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging data from a carefully selected cohort of participants, we examined cross sectional change...
