Understanding brain resilience in superagers: a systematic review.

This systematic review supports selective cortical preservation in superagers, comprehending regions of the default mode, and salience networks, overlapped by stronger functional connectivity. In this context, the anterior cingulate cortex is highlighted as an imaging and histologic signature of these subjects. Besides, the biomarkers included pointed out that the Brain and Cognitive Reserve and Brain Maintenance concepts are independent and complementary in the superagers' setting.
