SummaryAging is a complex biological process that significantly impacts various aspects of brain function and structure. Understanding the neural correlates of aging is essential for identifying early biomarkers of neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. By utilizing structural connectivity measures obtained from T1-weighted MRI and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), alongside directed functional connectivity assessed through functional MRI (fMRI), we can explore the complexities of brain aging in a robust manner.
