In the last decade many studies of human brain aging based on MRI advanced techniques have been published. Clinical studies are potentially affected by several factors, such as life-style or genetic variability. Experimental models of aging could be useful in dissecting physiological from pathophysiological events as well as the impact of environmental or genetic factors. They could also represent a platform to study the effect of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies in delaying brain aging. Aim of present work was the investigation of brain aging in a rodent experimental model by advanced MRI techniques and the assessment of its potential translational value.
