Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores the use of brain age estimation from MRI scans as a biomarker of brain health. With disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's increasing globally, there is an urgent need for early detection tools that can identify at-risk individuals before cognitive symptoms emerge. Brain age offers a noninvasive, quantitative measure of neurobiological ageing, with applications in early diagnosis, disease monitoring, and personalized medicine.
