摘要
En 中文
The mechanisms of normal aging of the human brain are insufficiently understood at present. This lack of systematic understanding impedes the exploration of new treatments for age-related diseases and approaches to extend our lifespan. The objective of this study was to develop a novel evolution model to simulate the dynamic alteration processes in functional brain networks that occur during normal aging, using computational experiments. Six global topological properties and a nodal metric were applied to characterize functional magnetic resonance imaging data on the brain networks of individuals from three different age groups. Comparing these real-world results to our simulation results showed that our evolution model captures well the dynamic processes of normal aging in functional brain networks. Our research shows that a tradeoff exists between the constraints on the degree distribution and the tendency toward clustered connections of functional brain networks during normal aging. These computational experiments provide a more comprehensive perspective that addresses dynamic alterations across a large time scale, which traditional research techniques cannot achieve. Our model is therefore of profound significance for exploring the mechanisms of normal aging.
