Older age linked to less persistent human brain activity

A measure of brain activity’s persistence shortened from about 29 milliseconds in childhood to 9 milliseconds in late adulthood.A measure of brain activity’s persistence shortened from about 29 milliseconds in childhood to 9 milliseconds in late adulthood.
