Cerebral vasculature shapes the spatial patterning of brain metastases https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.07.22.739598v1
More than 3,000 brain scans suggest poor metabolic health can age the brain independently of age, with reduced cerebral perfusion linked to weaker cognitive flexibility. doi.org/hb8pn6
Poor metabolic health can age the brain even in young people, finds new large-scale study
Two people of very different ages can have a similar level of biological aging in their brains. Such an occurrence is possible because aging and metabolic health follow two distinct pathways that influence brain health.

#Aging drives changes in the #brain and #metabolism, but how independent are these effects? This study by @asafarahani.bsky.social, @misicbata.bsky.social &co identifies two axes of brain-body associations, each primarily related to age or metabolic health. 🧪#AcademicSky plos.io/4eoIu3L
