More than 3,000 brain scans suggest poor metabolic health can age the brain independently of age, with reduced cerebral perfusion linked to weaker cognitive flexibility. doi.org/hb8pn6

#Aging drives changes in the #brain and #metabolism, but how independent are these effects? This study by @asafarahani.bsky.social, @misicbata.bsky.social &co identifies two axes of brain-body associations, each primarily related to age or metabolic health. 🧪#AcademicSky plos.io/4eoIu3L

Network spreading and local biological vulnerability in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis | doi.org/10.1038/s420... How do brain network structure and local biological features shape the spatial patterning of atrophy in ALS? @asafarahani.bsky.social investigates ⤵️

The effect of spherical projections on spin tests for brain maps | doi.org/10.1162/IMAG... Spin tests are the de facto null model for map-to-map comparisons in brain imaging. Why don't they perfectly control false positives? @vincebaz.bsky.social explores ⤵️
