Abstract People are not as fast or as strong as many other creatures that evolved around us. What gives us an evolutionary advantage is working together to achieve common aims. Coordinating joint action begins at a tender age with such cooperative activities as alternating babbling and clapping games. Adult joint activities are far more complex […]

IntroductionThe deterioration of white matter pathways is one of the hallmarks of the ageing brain. In theory, this decrease in structural integrity leads to disconnection between regions of brain networks and thus to altered functional connectivity and a decrease in cognitive abilities. However, in many studies, associations between structural and functional connectivity are rather weak […]

PurposeSince age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is tightly associated with aging and cellular senescence, objective of this study was to investigate the association between plasma levels of senescence-related proteins (SRPs) and risk of AMD.DesignThe whole study was based on two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.MethodsFor MR analysis, the primary approach for MR analysis was the inverse-variance weighted […]
