Paper

Abstract

In prior work we identified cortical resilience proteins associated with the linear trajectories of cognitive decline independent of the effects of neuropathology. Some of these proteins were associated with slower and some with faster cognitive decline. We tested the hypothesis that the temporal onset and duration of effects of cortical resilience proteins associated with cognitive trajectories may vary in aging adults.

Research summary

The paper investigates the role of cortical resilience proteins in cognitive aging, which is pertinent to understanding mechanisms underlying cognitive decline as individuals age. However, it primarily focuses on the association of these proteins with cognitive trajectories rather than addressing the root causes of aging or proposing interventions for lifespan extension. Thus, while it contributes to the field of aging research, its impact is limited and more incremental than groundbreaking.
