Reduced structural connectivity of the medial temporal lobe including the perforant path is associated with aging and verbal memory impairment

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Episodic memory decline and medial temporal lobe (MTL) atrophy are markedly the most prominent and earliest pathological changes associated with age-related cognitive decline including Alzheimers Disease (Gomez-Isla et_al, 1996; Price et_al, 2001; Braak and Braak, 1991; Jack et_al, 1999). A key circuit of interest within the medial temporal lobe originates from the entorhinal cortex, 1 of the earliest sites of ac- cumulation of AD-related tau pathology (Desikan et_al, 2010; Desikan et 2012; Eskildsen et_al, 2013). The integrity of the perforant path is critical for normal hippocampal functioning, is vulnerable to the . . .
