Cortical iron burden

Oldest-old age is associated with cortical iron burden in humans.

“However, compared to normal-old, cortical iron burden was lower in the oldest-old.”

Humanscognitively unimpaired; compared with younger-old participantscerebral cortexn = 44

Low cortical iron and high entorhinal cortex volume promote cognitive functioning in the oldest-old
