Stark Cross-Sectional Aging Dataset
This dataset includes behavioral and neuroimaging data from approximately 120 participants aged 18 to 89 years, collected as part of a research grant focused on understanding the effects of aging on the hippocampus and its relationship to age-related cognitive decline.
The project combines high-resolution imaging techniques with advanced behavioral assessments to provide insights into structural and functional brain changes across the lifespan.
Note: Some, but not all, of the data are currently live. Additional data will be uploaded as time and storage capacity allow.
