Normal aging triggers substantial topological transformation within resting-state electroencephalography (rs-EEG) networks. Given that the small-world (SW) architecture of hemispheric EEG networks may reflect an evolutionarily and developmentally optimized organization, investigating their modulations with age offers critical insights into the dynamic reorganization of functional connectivity (FC) patterns throughout adulthood...

To determine age-related alterations in vortex veins in healthy subjects. A total of 228 healthy subjects (aged 4 to 86 years) were recruited and divided into four groups (G1, <21 years; G2, 21–40 years; G3, 41–60 years; and G4, 61–86 years). The clinical characteristics of the participants were recorded, and parameters including the number of vortex vein roots (NVVR), the central vortex vein diameter (CVVD), the mean root are...
