Metacognition, cortical thickness, and tauopathy in aging

The paper examines metacognition measures and their links to cortical thickness and AD biomarkers in older adults, finding distinct associations with structural atrophy and tau pathology.

Alzheimer's pathology is associated with dedifferentiation of functional memory networks in aging

The paper examines how age-related changes in brain network segregation correlate with Alzheimer's pathology and memory decline using fMRI and PET.

GABA levels in ventral visual cortex decline with age and are associated with neural distinctiveness

This study finds that GABA levels decrease with age in the ventral visual cortex and are linked to reduced neural distinctiveness in older adults.

Neural distinctiveness declines with age in auditory cortex and is associated with auditory GABA levels.

This study shows that older adults show less distinct neural activation patterns in auditory cortex and lower GABA levels, with GABA levels predicting neural distinctiveness in older adults.

Michigan Neural Distinctiveness (MiND) project: Investigating the scope, causes, and consequences of age-related neural dedifferentiation

The MiND project investigates age-related neural dedifferentiation by examining its scope, causes, and behavioral consequences using multimodal imaging and behavioral measures.
