Randomized controlled trial of resistance exercise and brain aging clocks - GeroScience Exercise improves cognition, mental wellbeing, and protects against neurodegeneration. However, most prior neuroscience studies have focused on localized brain changes without quantifying their impact on brain ageing. To quantify the effect of resistance training on brain health using longitudinal assessments. Using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data from 2,433 healthy adults, we trained models to predict brain age and applied them to 309 participants from the Live Active Successful Aging (LISA) randomized trial. Participants in this trial were assigned to one of three groups: heavy-resistance training, moderate-intensity training, or a non-exercise control group. They underwent repeated rs-fMRI and physical fitness assessments at baseline, with follow-up assessments at 1 and 2 years. First, we examined changes in local connectivity between groups. Second, we assessed the impact of resistance training on brain ageing using brain clock models trained on the independent dataset of 2,433 adults. Local analyses revealed increased prefrontal functional connectivity following heavy training, while moderate- and heavy-resistance training significantly reduced brain age (–1.4 to –2.3 years, pFDR < 0.05). These effects emerged at the whole-brain level, rather than within isolated networks such as the default mode, motor, or cerebellar systems. These findings suggest a hierarchical organization of brain aging, driven by distributed network-level changes and expressed through focal regional patterns. Resistance exercise training decelerates brain ageing, as indexed by brain clocks, reinforcing its role as a preventive strategy for brain health.

🧠📈 This #OpenAccess article in 'GeroScience' finds resistance training reduces brain age and improves functional connectivity, supporting exercise as a strategy to slow brain ageing. bit.ly/3NLgfTF #ResearchPublishing

Optically stimulated luminescence characteristics of heteroepitaxial diamond with different nitrogen concentrations: effects of pre-irradiation and luminescence center activation - Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics This study systematically investigated the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) characteristics of heteroepitaxial diamond (HED) with two different nitrogen concentrations (3 ppb and 1 ppm). The nitrogen-rich sample exhibited substantially higher OSL intensity than the low-nitrogen sample, reflecting an increased density of trapping sites and luminescent centers associated with nitrogen-related defects. Both samples showed weak dose dependence below 10 Gy and saturation at 100–200 Gy, consistent with the classical center-depletion model. A pronounced enhancement in OSL sensitivity was observed only in the nitrogen-rich sample following pre-irradiation up to 400 Gy. This enhancement is attributed to increased trapped-electron population, activation of previously inactive luminescent centers, and improved radiative recombination efficiency. The enhancement was completely removed by annealing at 500 °C for 60 s, indicating that the effect originates from metastable changes in defect occupancy rather than permanent defect formation. The OSL emission spectra exhibited a single broad band between 500 and 800 nm, peaking at 620–650 nm, corresponding to the phonon sideband of NV⁻-related luminescence. No zero-phonon line at 637 nm was resolved, consistent with the broad-band, phonon-assisted nature of the measured OSL emission. The spectral shape remained unchanged after pre-irradiation. Fading measurements further revealed that the nitrogen-rich diamond possesses more thermally stable trap levels than the low-nitrogen sample. These findings demonstrate that nitrogen incorporation is an effective strategy for tuning the OSL performance of HED and the potential of nitrogen-rich HED for high-dose and reusable dosimetry applications.
