Title of abstract: O-T4-04 Neurometabolic model of white matter microstructural organization in aging: Evidence from DTI-¬1H-MRS pilot study

Synopsis: We examined links between biochemical status, brain structural properties and biomarkers of peripheral inflammation in order to establish a neurobiological model of aging. Our observations suggest that biochemical integrity of the left hippocampus is associated with microstructural organization of ipsilateral WM tracts connecting the hippocampus with temporal and prefrontal cortex.

This agenda item is presented in the following session: S7-2 Neuroradiology
