... 242 UTILITY OF BRAIN IMAGING METHODS IN RESEARCH ON AGING USES OF NEUROIMAGING IN RESEARCH ON AGING The quality of contemporary fMRI images is also good enough that one can examine frontal cortex changes during aging. It is possible to actually reconstruct the thickness of the cortex and observe changes as people age, seeing when and where both white and gray cortical matter change.
