A USC-led team of researchers find that brain age may play a role in post-stroke outcomes and could potentially help identify at-risk people.

Brain age associations in people with stroke. (A) Visualization of correlations between predicted brain age and region-of-interest measurements. Warmer colors indicate stronger negative associations (e.g., larger volumes associated with younger predicted brain age), while cooler colors indicate stronger positive associations (e.g., larger ventricles associated with older predicted brain age). (B) Chronological age by predicted brain age across the entire sample. (Photo credit: USC Stevens INI, Neurology)
