Article Synopsis
- This research explores how functional connectivity (FC) in the brain relates to cognitive decline as people age, focusing specifically on differences between highly functional older adults (SuperAgers) and average older adults.
- It highlights inconsistencies in previous studies regarding the role of FC in typical aging, suggesting that methodical problems and varying definitions of "successful aging" contribute to mixed outcomes.
- The study uses advanced MRI techniques to compare FC among SuperAgers and cognitively average older adults to better understand the neurocognitive networks involved in memory performance and to clarify how FC differs between these groups.
Bilateral thalamic infarctions are uncommon and often lead to more severe and long-lasting symptoms than unilateral thalamic infarctions. This article describes a patient with bilateral thalamic infarction caused by occlusion in the artery of Percheron, an anatomic variant thought to be present in 4% to 12% of the population.
