Abstract excerpt
The hippocampus is affected early in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and altered hippocampal functioning influences normal cognitive aging. Here, we used task-based functional MRI to assess if the APOE ɛ4 allele or a polygenic risk score (PRS) for AD was linked to longitudinal changes in memory-related hippocampal activation in normal aging (baseline age 50-95, n = 292; n = 182 at 4 years follow-up, subsequently...
