The brain's white matter pathway organization during the first year of life may predict language acquisition and development at age five, researchers say.
Performing written cognitive tests with a digital pen allowed researchers to identify differences between "thinking" and "writing" times that may be early biomarkers for cognitive and motor decline.
People born into families with members who live longer lives show better cognitive performance and a slower decline in cognitive processing speed as they age.
