Age-related changes in topological organization of structural brain networks in healthy individualsKai Wu
Department of Nuclear Medicine and Radiology, Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan 980 8575
Hum Brain Mapp 33:552-68. 2012
..The organization eventually altered greatly, shifting to a more localized organization in old age. Our findings provided quantitative insights into topological principles of structural brain networks and changes related to normal aging...
Correlation between gray matter density-adjusted brain perfusion and age using brain MR images of 202 healthy childrenYasuyuki Taki
Division of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, Tohoku University, Aobaku, Senda, Japan
Hum Brain Mapp 32:1973-85. 2011
..Our results indicate that higher order association cortices mature after the lower order cortices, and may help clarify the mechanisms of normal brain maturation from the viewpoint of brain perfusion...

Gender differences in partial-volume corrected brain perfusion using brain MRI in healthy childrenYasuyuki Taki
Division of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan
Neuroimage 58:709-15. 2011
..The findings showed significant differences between boys and girls in brain perfusion with PVC, and these differences may contribute to gender differences in the cognitive ability of healthy children...
Correlation between gray/white matter volume and cognition in healthy elderly peopleYasuyuki Taki
Division of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan
Brain Cogn 75:170-6. 2011
..Our results suggest that individual variability in specific cognitive functions that are relatively well preserved with aging is accounted for by the variability of gray matter volume in healthy elderly subjects...
