Brain atlas reveals how aging unfolds differently across brain regions, cell types and sexes
The Brief
- An Arizona State University-led team published a new high-resolution atlas of the aging primate brain.
- The atlas is intended to show how aging differs across brain regions, cell types and sexes.
- The work aims to help explain how aging raises the risk of brain diseases.
Why it matters
The atlas provides a cell-level and region-level map of brain aging in primates, which can guide future research into age-related brain disease.
Who’s affected
- neuroscientists and researchers studying brain aging

How do we age, and how do we become more at risk of brain diseases as we age? An Arizona State University-led team is helping answer those questions with a new high-resolution atlas of the aging primate brain.
