Researchers created brain growth charts using MRI data from over 54,000 people to map neural pathway development and decline. This new reference model allows for the detection of subtle patterns linked to aging, Alzheimer's, and schizophrenia risk by comparing individual brain wiring to typical age-related changes. The study, published in Nature Communications, utilized diffusion MRI data and offers a publicly available resource for studying various brain diseases and conditions.
