This study focuses on how lactate, a key source of brain energy, supports cognition and how its regulation by the noradrenergic system changes with age. Using advanced brain imaging and noninvasive stimulation techniques, this research aims to uncover the neurometabolic and modulatory mechanisms behind cognitive aging, as well as explore potential strategies to preserve cognitive health in older adults.
