The role of neural flexibility in cognitive aging.

ABSTRACT: Studies assessing relationships between neural and cognitive changes in healthy aging have shown that a variety of aspects of brain structure and function explain a significant portion of the variability in cognitive outcomes throughout adulthood. Many studies assessing relationships between brain function and cognition have utilized time-averaged, or static functional connectivity methods to explore ways in which brain network organization may contribute to aspects of cognitive aging. However, recent studies in this field have suggested that time-varying, or dynamic measures of functional connectivity, which assess changes in functional connectivity over the course of a scan session, may play a stronger role in explaining cognitive outcomes in healthy young adults. Further, both static an
