Abstract

-Human brain areas are organized into a large-scale functional network, which can be measured at rest using non-invasive brain imaging (functional MRI)-The brain network contains segregated sub-networks that correspond to functionally specialized brain systems-The segregation of brain systems declines with increasing age, across the healthy adult lifespan-System segregation relates to cognitive function in individuals-My working hypothesis is that slow and fast cognitive decline is related to changes in system segregation as an individual ages, and that individual differences in rate and risk of decline are a consequence of the capacity to tolerate and adapt to damage to the brain network
