Structural brain changes in aging: courses, causes and cognitive consequences

AM Fjell, KB Walhovd - Reviews in the Neurosciences, 2010 - degruyter.com
The structure of the brain is constantly changing from birth throughout the lifetime, meaning
that normal aging, free from dementia, is associated with structural brain changes. This paper …

Brain maturation in adolescence and young adulthood: regional age-related changes in cortical thickness and white matter volume and microstructure

…, LT Westlye, P Due-Tønnessen, KB Walhovd - Cerebral …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
The development of cortical gray matter, white matter (WM) volume, and WM microstructure
in adolescence is beginning to be fairly well characterized by structural magnetic resonance …

…, L McEvoy, D Holland, AM Dale, KB Walhovd… - Progress in …, 2014 - Elsevier
What can be expected in normal aging, and where does normal aging stop and pathological
neurodegeneration begin? With the slow progression of age-related dementias such as …

Life-span changes of the human brain white matter: diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and volumetry

Magnetic resonance imaging volumetry studies report inverted U-patterns with increasing
white-matter (WM) volume into middle age suggesting protracted WM maturation compared …

Effects of age on volumes of cortex, white matter and subcortical structures

KB Walhovd, AM Fjell, I Reinvang, A Lundervold… - Neurobiology of …, 2005 - Elsevier
The effect of age was investigated in and compared across 16 automatically segmented brain
measures: cortical gray matter, cerebral white matter, hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, …

High consistency of regional cortical thinning in aging across multiple samples

…, DN Greve, B Fischl, AM Dale, KB Walhovd - Cerebral …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Cross-sectional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of cortical thickness and volume

One-year brain atrophy evident in healthy aging

AM Fjell, KB Walhovd… - Journal of …, 2009 - Soc Neuroscience
An accurate description of changes in the brain in healthy aging is needed to understand
the basis of age-related changes in cognitive function. Cross-sectional magnetic resonance …

Consistent neuroanatomical age-related volume differences across multiple samples

KB Walhovd, LT Westlye, I Amlien, T Espeseth… - Neurobiology of …, 2011 - Elsevier
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the principal method for studying structural age-related
brain changes in vivo. However, previous research has yielded inconsistent results, …

Differential longitudinal changes in cortical thickness, surface area and volume across the adult life span: regions of accelerating and decelerating change

…, K Overbye, HW Aasland, KB Walhovd - Journal of …, 2014 - Soc Neuroscience
Human cortical thickness and surface area are genetically independent, emerge through
different neurobiological events during development, and are sensitive to different clinical …
