Abstract excerpt
Amid a global shift toward older populations, understanding the mechanisms of cognitive aging is a public health priority. Processing speed shows age-related decline and predicts dementia risk. Neuroimaging links dopaminergic system integrity to cognitive performance in aging, but the contribution of common genetic variation remains unclear. This study tested whether common dopaminergic variants influence 12-year...
