Hippocampal pathway plasticity is associated with the ability to form novel memories in older adults

Hippocampal pathway plasticity is associated with the ability to form novel memories in older adults

White matter deterioration in the aging human brain contributes to cognitive decline. The fornix as main efferent hippocampal pathway is one of the tracts most strongly associated with age-related memory impairment. Its deterioration may predict conversion to Alzheimer’s dementia and its precursors....
