Readers will open a neuroscience article explaining how measuring the biological age of uninjured brain tissue helps predict language recovery after stroke.
Key Takeaways
- Structural brain aging in the non-lesioned hemisphere predicted aphasia severity independently of lesion size or location.
- Baseline structural brain age metrics predicted sustained language improvements six months after speech therapy plus noninvasive brain stimulation.
- The predictive model uses standard non-contrast clinical MRI and a free online machine-learning tool trained on normative aging datasets.
