What is it about?
Aging is a natural and complex process. As we age, our bodies undergo physiological changes, including a slowdown in cognitive processes, which usually begins after reaching maturity. Some see these changes as a way for our bodies to adapt, while others view them as signs of decline. Our mission is to explore the mechanisms that support normal cognitive functioning in the brain as we grow older. To do this, we searched through PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases and identified 12 studies that looked at brain oscillation patterns in older adults with no cognitive impairments.

Why is it important?
Our review is the first step towards uncovering the mechanisms that support normal cognitive functioning in the aging brain. This knowledge is important for creating global strategies to prevent or treat cognitive impairment and promote healthy aging in the future.
Perspectives
This article is a great start towards understanding how to keep our brains healthy. After working in it, I realized that there's not enough focus on describing what a healthy aging process looks like and we should work on promoting the concept of healthy aging across all the population.
