Article Synopsis
- The study examines three key resting-state networks (DMN, SN, and CEN) to understand their roles in cognition and neuropsychiatric conditions among a healthy sample aged 20-79.
- Researchers analyzed fMRI data to measure aspects like resting-state activity and connectivity and found the DMN showed the strongest activity while the SN had the least.
- The results suggest that higher resting-state activity in these networks may negatively impact cognitive performance, highlighting the complexities of brain function and age-related changes.
The most common modality of diffusion MRI used in the ageing and development studies is diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) providing two key measures, fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity. Here, we investigated diffusional changes occurring between childhood (average age 10.3 years) and mitddle adult age (average age 54.

One of the principal problems for intersubject comparison is the absence of a "gold standard" processing pipeline. As a result, contradictory results may be obtained from identical data using different data processing pipelines, for example, in the data normalization or smoothing procedures.
