Mesoscale medial temporal lobe connectivity patterns relate to tau pathology and memory in older adults
bioRxiv
Abstract
The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is crucial for episodic memory. Tau pathology is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and accumulates in layer-specific patterns in the MTL during aging. It is, however, unclear whether early AD pathology relates to mesoscale network signatures distinct from non-pathological aging.
