Voxel-based morphometry is applied to 30 mouse lemur brains of ages 2-11 years and shows localised changes with age, of particular note cingulate and entorhinal cortical reductions in grey matter concentrations are seen. This shows that automated techniques can be applied in this area leading to greater sensitivity with less manual bias.
