Scientists identify critical ‘midlife window’ for preventing age-related brain decline

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has unveiled that brain aging follows a distinct yet nonlinear trajectory with critical transition points. The research, conducted by an international team of scientists led by Lilianne R. Mujica-Parodi, Ph.D., of Stony Brook University, offers new insights into when interventions to prevent cognitive decline might be most effective.
