New paper from graduate student Fred charting the heterogeneous aging of the human cerebellum and its surprising role in buffering against cognitive decline www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cerebellar aging is spatially heterogeneous and supports cognitive resilience in later life - Nature Neuroscience

The cerebellum ages unevenly, with some regions showing preservation that may help protect the brain from decline. The authors show that large cerebellar volume is associated with stronger cognitive r...
