"We found that stability estimates from the Cam-CAN data were unaffected by the length of raw recordings used for pre-processing and source imaging, as data lengths from 60 s to 150 s (tested in increments of 30 s) indicated no meaningful difference in stability from the full length (480 s) version in all frequencies except high-gamma ( xref )."

"Notable open big data initiatives include those for fundamental brain sciences such as the Allen Brain Map [ xref ], Collation of Connectivity Data for the Macaque (CoCoMac) database [ xref ] and Human Connectome Project (HCP) [ xref ], and for clinical and translational sciences, including the Cambridge Centre for Ageing Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) dataset inventory [ xref ], Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) [ xref ], the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC) [ xref ], UK Biobank [ xref ] and the Dementias Platform UK (DPUK) [ xref ]."

"We examine the stability of spectral features derived from varying lengths of source-imaged MEG resting-state data collected from two different models of MEG instrument and available from two different shared repositories: the Open MEG Archive (OMEGA; CTF instrument; N = 107; xref ) and the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience dataset (Cam-CAN; MEGIN/Elekta instrument; N = 50; xref )."

"Here, we analyze the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) resting-state magnetoencephalography (MEG) dataset-the largest aging cohort available-in light of the quasicriticality framework, a novel organizing principle for brain functionality which relates information processing and scaling properties of brain activity to brain connectivity and stimulus."
sparser
"Investigation of cognitively healthy older adults is also a fruitful avenue to provide information about the neural resilience mechanisms able to curb the onset or the progression of cognitive deficits as shown by the works of the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) group ( xref ; xref )."
sparser
"Hierarchical clustering of the individual predicted brain-ages in the Cam-CAN sample showed that elastic-net regression, Lasso and ridge regression together formed one cluster, SVR and RVR formed another cluster while OLS regression showed the lowest similarity with all the other algorithms ( xref )."
sparser
"The SC-ISV maps derived from our data and the Cam-CAN dataset were consistent across cortical ROIs ( R = 0.76, 95% CI = [0.72, 0.79], p = 0.0002 SA-corrected, p = 2.51×10 −124 uncorrected, Spearman’s correlation, see also Supplementary Fig. xref for the correction of spatial autocorrelation), suggesting that the ISV of structural connectivity is robust and generalizable between cohorts."
sparser
"To allow comparison between the Cam-CAN LC mask and previously published LC masks ( xref , xref , xref ), the MT-weighted template was coregistered to the MNI152 space (using the “antsRegistrationSyNQuick.sh” routine in ANTS v2.1, with “rigid + deformable syn” as transformation type) and the obtained transformation matrices were applied to warp the mask to MNI space."
sparser
"Cam-CAN and Leipzig resting-state datasets show that increased age, in turn, was associated with destabilization of brain networks (Leipzig <50 y [ n = 214] vs. ≥50 y [ n = 78], Mann–Whitney U test = 0.28, P = 1.4 × 10 −8 ; Cam-CAN <50 y [ n = 281] vs. ≥50 y [ n = 355], Mann–Whitney U test = 0.27, P = 1.6 × 10 −22 ; xref , Left )."

"The training set used for the age prediction model comprised 765 healthy community dwelling individuals aged 20-78 years sampled from two different cohorts, including the ongoing STROKEMRI study at the University of Oslo (UiO; n=177, M age = 57.59; SD = 15.05, 60 % female, PI: L.W.) and the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience 13 (Cam-CAN) (n=588, M age = 52.31; SD = 17.38, 50 % female) from the Cambridge Center for Ageing and Neuroscience 14 (CamCAN)."

"These include the relatively low resolution of the Cam-CAN MT-weighted images (original voxel size 1.5 mm isotropic), which may have contributed to some of the inter-individual variability of LC CR values, and the fact that the structural imaging protocol used a Repetition Time (TR) of either 30 ms or 50 ms, depending on the participant’s SAR estimation."
sparser
"Spatially, the similarity of clustering results to those observed in the discovery sample was substantiated by Dice coefficients far higher than expected by chance (Cam-CAN = 0.54; BASE-II = 0.56; BETULA = 0.50; DLBS = 0.41; true expected Dice at random = 0.1, all p perm < 0.001)."
sparser
"By using a large movie fMRI dataset from the Cam-CAN project ( xref ) that shows reliable stimulus-driven activity (i.e., significant inter-subject correlations) over nearly all cortical brain regions ( xref ; xref ), we were able to study neural state segmentation across the entire cortex for the first time."
sparser
"As most previous studies relied exclusively on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, we hereby investigate whether combining structural MRI with functional magnetoencephalography (MEG) information improves age prediction using a large cohort of healthy subjects (N=613, age 18-88 yrs) from the Cam-CAN repository."
sparser
"To address our hypothesis, we will leverage three well-established cohorts of aging, including two longitudinal cohorts [Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) ( xref ), Vanderbilt Memory & Aging Project (VMAP) ( xref )] and one cross-sectional cohort [Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) ( xref )]."
sparser
"Evaluation of the six algorithms in two sizable samples of healthy individuals from the HCP and Cam-CAN yielded reproducible results with regards to the similarity between Lasso regression and elastic-net regression, and between the SVR and RVR that consistently clustered together."
sparser
"Thus, the UKB results were in agreement with the lack of meaningful cross-sectional sleep-hippocampal volume relationships in Lifebrain, and aligns with previous findings within a Lifebrain cohort (Cam-CAN) which found no cross-sectional associations between PSQI subcomponents and white matter microstructure (indexed by Fractional anisotropy) across 10 tracts [ xref ]."
sparser
"Having established a robust within-sample prediction for task-FC derived models, we next aimed to investigate whether those models derived in HCP-Aging cohort would generalize to predict individual response time variability in two independent samples of n = 100 (Cam-CAN data) and n = 47 (SCAN data) healthy older adults."
sparser
"The greater caudal extension of the Keren/Betts LC masks compared with our mask could be because the relatively lower resolution of the Cam-CAN scanning sequence could not sufficiently identify this portion, which has previously been reported to show a less reliably observable signal ( xref )."
sparser
"First, although Cam-CAN recruitment was population-based, it was not population-representative, and participants who completed full cognitive assessments were qualified to undergo cognitive neuroscience experiments including neuroimaging (see xref , for a description of participant selection for testing stages)."
sparser
"Cognitive/behavioral factors (measured by variables in the Cam-CAN database) previously demonstrated in vivo to be related to LC–NA system integrity are chosen as NA-dependent variables (emotional memory, emotional reactivity, and response inhibition +/− executive function, sleep quality, and three measures—years of education, verbal intelligence, and occupational complexity—representing cognitive reserve), and those not previously proposed or shown to rely on the LC–NA system are included in the NA-independent factor (general intelligence, face recognition, and sentence comprehension)."
sparser
"We next tested whether the clustering of asymmetry trajectories was reliable across four independent longitudinal adult lifespan cohorts (Cambridge Center for Aging and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN), Berlin Study of Aging-II (BASE-II), BETULA, and Dallas Lifespan Brain Study (DLBS): described in Supplementary Table xref and Fig. xref )."
sparser
"In a second study, we analyzed a large open MEG dataset for age-related obtained from the Cam-CAN repository (Shafto et al, 2014; Taylor et al, 2017) , aiming to replicate the results from our EEG dataset and to determine whether any non-linear age changes in sensorimotor beta activity were paralleled by a similar age-related non-linear modulation of sensorimotor task performance -as available in this dataset."

"In line with suggested strategies to maximize statistical diagnosticity in these cases xref , we transparently reported in our pre-registered analysis plan that we already had access to the pre-existing data in Cam-CAN, but had not performed any analyses of the cognitive/behavioral measures."
sparser
"To do this, we leveraged three well-established cohorts of aging, including two longitudinal cohorts [Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) [ xref ], Vanderbilt Memory & Aging Project (VMAP) [ xref ]], and one cross-sectional cohort [Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) [ xref ]]."
sparser
"Finally, we leverage the balanced demographic distribution and detailed cognitive testing of the Cam-CAN dataset to investigate potential linear effects of key demographics (i.e., age, sex, and handedness) and cognitive function (as measured by the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination – Revised; ACE-R; xref ) on the intra-session stability of MEG resting-state spectral features, derived from multiple tested data durations."
sparser
"We tested a mechanistic account of the 'neural noise' hypothesis in a large adult lifespan cohort (Cam-CAN) with over 2500 adults (ages 18-102; 1508 female; 1173 male; 2681 behavioral sessions; 708 MRI scans) using WM fractional anisotropy (FA) to predict mean levels and variability in reaction time performance on a simple behavioral task using a dynamic structural equation model (DSEM)."
sparser
"Noise reduction (using temporal signal space separation, tSSS,Taulu et al, 2005), reconstruction of missing or corrupted MEG channels, continuous head motion correction, and a transformation to a common head position were performed by the Cam-CAN group with MaxFilter(Taulu and Simola, 2006)."

"Notable open big data initiatives include those for fundamental brain sciences such as the Allen Brain Map [76], Collation of Connectivity Data for the Macaque (CoCoMac) database [77] and Human Connectome Project (HCP) [78], and for clinical and translational sciences, including the Cambridge Centre for Ageing Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) dataset inventory [79], Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) [80], the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC) [81], UK Biobank [82] and the Dementias Platform UK (DPUK) [83]."

"We partitioned the CAM-CAN data set (N = 550) into the young, middle, and old age-groups, then used the young and old age-groups to construct prediction models for 11 behavioral outcomes using multimodal neuroimaging features (i.e., structural and resting-state functional connectivity, and gray matter volume/cortical thickness)."
sparser
"Here, we used multivariate techniques to investigate the associations between cardiovascular health (diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate) and white matter macrostructure (lesion volume and number) and microstructure (as measured by diffusion-weighted imaging) in the cross-sectional, population-based Cam-CAN cohort ( N = 667, aged 18–88)."
sparser
"Data could also be shared on institutional and funder archives such as the National Institute of Mental Health Data Archive (NDA); on dedicated repositories, such as the the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience, Cam-CAN ( xref ; xref ) or The Open MEG Archive, OMEGA ( xref ); or on generic archives that are not neuroscience or neuroimaging specific, such as figshare, GitHub, the Open Science Framework, and Zenodo."
sparser
"Here, using diffusion tensor imaging and a simple reaction time task within a relatively large population-derived sample (N = 399; 18–87 years) from the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN), we demonstrate that physical activity mediates the effect of age on white matter integrity, measured with fractional anisotropy."
sparser
"The resolution of the Cam-CAN MT-weighted images (original voxel size 1.5 mm isotropic) was relatively low compared with previous MT-weighted studies (typically 0.39 × 0.39 × 3 mm to 0.7 × 0.7 × 0.7 mm) ( xref , xref , xref ), which limited the precision of segmentation and may have contributed to some of the variability of LC signal intensity values."
sparser
"For example, a recent study using Cam-CAN data showed age-related differences in the relationship between response inhibition performance and brain connectivity but not activity in a distributed inhibition network xref , which raises the possibility of compensatory changes in response to age-related reductions in LC structural integrity."
sparser
"Using a large population-based cross-sectional data set of cognitively normal healthy adults ( N = 605, age range 18–88 years) from the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) xref , xref , we previously reported the presence of a quadratic relationship between mean normalized LC MRI signal intensity (LC contrast ratio, or LC CR) and age, the peak occurring around 60 years xref ."
sparser
"Here, we characterize time-resolved, resting-state magnetoencephalography activity of the hippocampus and subcortical brain regions in a large cohort of healthy young (20-30 years) and older (70-80 years) volunteers from the Cam-CAN (Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience) open repository."
sparser
"We investigated these questions in the cross-sectional Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) data (N = 708, age 18–88), using data-driven exploratory structural equation modelling, confirmatory factor analyses, and age-residualized measures of cognitive differences across the lifespan."
sparser
"Here, we characterized inter-subject functional correlation (ISFC) between the thalamus and several cortical brain networks in 500 healthy participants aged 18–87 years old from the Cambridge Centre for Aging and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) cohort using movie-watching state fMRI data."
sparser
"Materials and Methods In a retrospective study (October 2010 to September 2013), rsfMRI data from healthy participants in the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) data repository were used to generate CAPs by applying single-volume temporal clustering analysis."
sparser
"To complement our structural imaging analyses, we performed post hoc behavioural analyses looking at the relationship between motor adaptation and Cam-CAN’s behavioural measures of explicit memory collected on the same cohort, namely visual short-term memory (STM) and declarative long-term memory (LTM)."
sparser
"Cross-sectional patient data were first contrasted to pooled normative data set of healthy controls (‘HC’, n = 776, 383 males, age: 55.08 ± 17.63) from Trinity College Dublin ( n = 125) and subjects from the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) database ( n = 651) xref ."
sparser
"Although we made pre-registered predictions on the relationship between LC CR and cognitive/behavioral processes, which were based on the wider literature underpinning our hypotheses, we did not pre-register the precise Cam-CAN outcome variables for all processes (i.e., SSRT for response inhibition, Hotel task for executive function, PSQI total score for sleep quality, three measures for negatively valenced emotional memory, and two for emotional reactivity/regulation) that were included in our final analyses."
sparser
"Each of these pre-registered functions correspond to a task or questionnaire in the Cam-CAN database, apart from emotional regulation and emotional memory, which had multiple outcome measures xref , xref , and we justify the choice of the final variables in our analyses in the Methods section."
sparser
"In the alpha (8–12 Hz) and beta (15–29 Hz) bands, activity in every region showed “excellent” stability (ICC > 0.90) when derived from data durations of 2 min or less (i.e., within the range of the OMEGA data set), while activity in the delta (2–4 Hz), theta (5–7 Hz) and low-gamma (30–59 Hz) bands reached excellent stability in every region with less than 3.5 min of data (i.e., within the range of the Cam-CAN data set)."
sparser
"Some posit that increased variability in older age is due to a lifetime of accumulating risk and protective factors like increased brain pathology (Rabbitt, xref ), but others find an increased variability is not inevitable across one’s cognitive development (Salthouse, xref ) or may be due to ceiling effects in young adulthood (Green, Shafto, Matthews, Cam-CAN, & White, xref )."
sparser
"Importantly, cohorts with diverse cognitive assessment such as in the Cam-CAN data set are also able to contribute to the understanding of domain-general function and cognitive factors that may be related to pathology in later life, as is evident from the domain-general Fluid Abilities and Typically Declining factors."
sparser
"For example, in the same Cam-CAN sample, Fuhrmann et al. observed strong associations such that low diastolic blood pressure (usually associated with lower overall blood pressure) was associated with worse neural health–but only when the model also included systolic blood pressure [ xref ]."
