Resting state networks (RSNs) of the brain are characterized as correlated spontaneous time-varying fluctuations in absence goal-directed tasks. These can be local or large-scale spanning brain. The study spatiotemporal properties such has helped understand brain’s fundamental functional organization under healthy and diseased states. As we age, these change. Moreover, RSNs exhibit neural plasticity to compensate for loss cognitive functions. This narrative review aims summarize current knowledge from magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies on age-related alterations RSNs. Underlying mechanisms influencing changes discussed. Methodological challenges future directions also addressed. By providing an overview this field, guide research endeavors aimed at promoting aging developing effective interventions impairment neurodegenerative diseases.
