Age-related delay in visual and auditory evoked responses is mediated by white- and grey-matter differences

Neural processing speed slows with age, but the relationship between this slowing and brain atrophy is unknown. Here, authors show that age-related functional brain differences in auditory and visual processing are partly due to structural differences in the distinct brain regions underlying these p...
