Neurology-related protein biomarkers are associated with cognitive ability and brain volume in older age

Late-life cognitive dysfunction is common, but the biological substrates are largely unknown. Here, the authors examined a panel of 90 neurology-related protein biomarkers and show that plasma levels of 22 of these proteins are associated with general fluid cognitive ability in later life.
