Combining data to study lifespan brain aging is tempting: more data and wider age range! But mixing data across scanners/protocols without proper harmonization can bias age effects, including studies using high-quality HCP data.

Humans live many more years than mice, but our brain networks are aging much faster.
Brain network decline follows a common trajectory across mouse and human adulthood, with features of network organization linked to more rapid decline.

The first part of my PhD research is out now in PNAS! See the thread below and stay tuned for my dissertation work, which builds on this cross-species model of brain network aging
Aging reorganizes human large-scale brain networks, with consequences for cognition & dementia risk. We’ve now mapped brain network changes over a wide range of the mouse lifespan. The changes mirror key features of human aging, but not entirely
