Description
Giorgia Picci and a large team report a 2026 brain study of how cortical structure and activity stay linked across life. They used magnetoencephalography, which records magnetic signals from brain activity, in one of the largest lifespan samples of its kind. Participants numbered 388 and ranged from age six to eighty-four.
Coupling between local rhythms and cortical thickness changed with age in distinct frequency bands. Sensory and motor networks showed strong, steady coupling, while higher association networks showed weaker and more variable links. The pattern followed a gradient from basic sensory areas toward complex association areas. The authors frame the results as a baseline map for healthy brain ageing.
