Merenstein et al. reported that structural brain connectivity, as measured by high-resolution diffusion-weighted MRI, improved the ability to predict age-related alterations in brain function and cognitive performance, relative to standard spatial resolution. These results may assist with the early identification of adults who are at heightened risk for cognitive decline.
