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 Press coverage | Aug 21 2023 Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News 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. The research also examined how two anti-aging treatments—caloric restriction and inf Image Research news | Aug 17 2023 Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience Stanford Medicine-led research identifies gene ‘fingerprint’ for brain aging A study in mice finds that white matter — the tissue that transmits messages around the brain — shows the greatest changes as the animals age.
