Healthy neural links preserve memory
The recent study published in the journal "Alzheimer's and Dementia" reveals that the integrity of short-range neural connections beneath the surface of the brain (the superficial white matter) plays a key role in enhancing cognitive and linguistic abilities with age, and helps mitigate the impact of gray matter loss on cognition. The results showed that individuals with healthy neural network connectivity perform better on language tests, particularly in the frontal-temporal regions, highlighting the importance of neural connectivity in maintaining cognitive resilience in older adults. The study provides important insights into ways to protect brain functions and improve the quality of life for seniors by strengthening the health of neural connections between different brain tissues.
