Our recent paper entitled:

“Entorhinal volume, aerobic fitness, and recognition memory in healthy young adults: A voxel-based morphometry study”

has been accepted for publication at NeuroImage!

Highlights (adapted from NeuroImage):

• We assessed entorhinal and hippocampal volume using voxel-based morphometry, aerobic fitness, recognition memory, and peripheral BDNF
• Sub-structurally, we observed a strong association between fitness and entorhinal volume: greater aerobic fitness was associated with greater entorhinal volume
• Gross-structurally, we observed a strong association between entorhinal volume and recognition memory
• Hippocampal volume was not associated with aerobic fitness in our young adult sample
• This work supports previous studies showing exercise impacts entorhinal structure; and extends work to humans
