Post-mortem studies have documented age-related
neocortical dendritic deficits, while compensatory
dendritic changes appear to take place in other regions.
By applying the neurite-orientation dispersion and
density imaging (NODDI) model to multi-shell diffusion
images, we found an in vivo pattern aligned very closely
with the postmortem data indexing neocortical
vulnerability and hippocampal compensation. We further
demonstrated that these microstructural changes have
consequences in cognitive-function, and brain
resting-state networks with known age-related
susceptibility.
