Abstract

The evaluation of healthy ageing of the brain could help create a fingerprint of normal ageing that might assist in the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative conditions. This sensor space study examined changes in resting state magnetoencephalograms generalised synchronisation (using synchronisation likelihood (SL)), due to age, in a sample of 220 healthy participants (98 males and 122 females, aged between 7 and 84). Results showed that females had higher SL values than males, however, a nonlinear relationship between SL and age was observed for both genders. Additionally, statistically significant effects of age were observed over all regions of the brain for both genders.
