Image news | Aug 21 2023 Neuroscience News Is the Brain’s White Matter an Unexpected Key to Aging and Memory? Funded in part by the Knight Initiative , researchers at the Wyss-Coray Lab have discovered that age-related cognitive decline is most pronounced in the brain’s white matter in a new study. Image news | Aug 21 2023 GEN Aging Mouse Brain Atlas Reveals White Matter Changes Most Over Time A study in mice suggests that the most pronounced changes that occur over time are in the white matter—neurons that are integral to transmitting signals across the brain.
