Since the introduction of functional and structural connectivity approaches, MRI has been used to assess age-related differences on a brain network level. A systems-level or network approach of brain structure and function provides an intuitive framework for understanding a complex dynamic system. In this talk I will discuss previous research that used MRI to study the effect of aging on brain networks in vivo, through functional connectivity measures derived from resting-state functional MRI and structural connectivity measures derived from diffusion MRI.
