The Cognitive Connectome in Healthy Aging.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Cognitive aging has been extensively investigated using both univariate and multivariate analyses. Sophisticated multivariate approaches such as graph theory could potentially capture unknown complex associations between multiple cognitive variables. The aim of this study was to assess whether cognition is organized into a structure that could be called the "cognitive connectome," and whether such connectome differs between age groups. Methods: A total of 334 cognitively unimpaired individuals were stratified into early-middle-age (37-50 years, n = 110), late-middle-age (51-64 years, n = 106), and elderly (65-78 years, n = 118) groups. We built cognitive networks from 47 cognitive variables for each age group using graph theory and compared th
