This study examines age-related changes in functional connectivity along the hippocampus's longitudinal axis, finding reduced connectivity in anterior regions and a potential compensatory mechanism in posterior regions.

A real-world spatial exploration intervention improves hippocampally-dependent memory in older adults by increasing lure discrimination index, while traditional recognition scores remain unchanged.

This study shows that playing immersive 3D video games for 4 weeks improves hippocampal-based memory in older adults, with benefits lasting up to 4 weeks after the intervention.
