The brief
Research involving nearly 49,000 brain scans has revealed that brain disorders are associated with increased brain aging. The study found that dementia, addiction, and psychiatric disorders exhibit distinct patterns of this acceleration.
Coverage from Medical Xpress, Neuroscience News, and News-Medical emphasizes that these conditions leave different "fingerprints" on the brain. In total, the study mapped accelerated aging signatures across nine different conditions.
Future attention will be on these specific patterns of brain aging associated with mental illness and addiction, as reported by Daily Excelsior and Starts at 60.
