Brain dynamics supporting high cognitive performance reorganize after midlife

2026-06-05

Abstract excerpt

Quantifying functional brain aging trajectories at scale remains a fundamental challenge due to the scanner-bound limitations of traditional neuroimaging. Here, we deploy whole-head Time-Domain functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (TD-fNIRS) to map task-evoked cortical dynamics during a 30-minute cognitive battery across the adult lifespan (N = 302, age 18–87, 45% racial or ethnic minority). We developed a robust...
