Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of enriched environmental stimulation on mouse brain cognitive reserve to enhance the sensitivity of brain age gap estimation (BrainAGE).Methods Twenty-one healthy adult C57BL / 6J male mice,15 months old,were divided into a group with a standard environment and two groups with enriched environments.All the groups underwent magnetic resonance microcopy.Scaled subprofile model was used to analyze the features reflecting the changes of brain cognitive reserve.Results There were significant differences between the mean BrainAGE of the two groups with enriched environments and that of the remained standard environment group,then it's proved that some assumption might be reasonable that brain cognitive reserve could be estimated based on BrainAGE.Optim ized BrainAGE model made explanations for 58.9％ differences during stimulus phase in enriched environment.Conclusion Improved BrainAGE model gains high sensitivity when used to measure the redundancy of brain cognitive reserve.
