How Brain Networks “Unravel” Over a Lifetime
A new cross‑species study shows that both humans and mice experience a gradual loss of modular specialization in brain networks as they age. Researchers used ultra‑high‑field fMRI to scan awake mice throughout their lifespans, revealing that the human brain’s greater integration accelerates its decline compared with mice. The parallel aging trajectory creates a powerful mouse model for testing anti‑aging interventions, compressing decades of human research into under two years. This insight also suggests that fundamental principles of neural organization are conserved across evolution.
