- Reposted by Esther KuehnFor 15(!) years I’ve been teaching introductory #MRI to grad students, and struggled to find a textbook for a wide variety of backgrounds. I'm happy to share an online textbook I created, fully open source (including code for generating figures and plots shown): larsonlab.github.io/MRI-educatio...

- Thanks to all (co)authors & reviewers for their contribution to this study on #layer specific changes in #sensory #cortex across the #lifespan in #humans & #mice now out in @natneuro.nature.com Here is a short summary of our findings 1/6
- 🧠 The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cortex responsible for the sense of touch. See study @natneuro.nature.com by @estherkuehn.bsky.social and colleagues at DZNE, @hih-tuebingen.bsky.social and @uni-magdeburg.de: 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- 2/6 First insight: Age-related cortical thinning in SI is not homogeneous across layers but driven by deep layer thinning The middle layer instead is even thicker in older adults
- 3/6 The structurally more pronounced middle layer (including layer 4) also shows a larger sensory-driven functional peak in older adults This was evidenced in an independent cohort (blue=younger red=older)
-
View full thread6/6 Together we introduce a new layer model of sensory aging highlighting non-homogenous cortical aging at different layers This may help to better understand the complex changes in cortex architecture that characterize healthy vs pathological aging & associated impairments in everyday life
