Age-Altered Functional Brain Network Study

The main purpose of this study is to explore how aging affects not only the local organization of hippocampus but also the corresponding global connectivity. Additionally, the findings of age-dependent alteration on hippocampal subfield networks lay the foundation for the development of an early biomarker of Alzheimer's disease.
