Résumé en anglais

While the neural correlates of age-related episodic memory decline have been extensively studied, the precise involvement of the Posterior Cingulate Cortex (PCC) and posterior parietal cortex (the precuneus and the angular gyrus), remains unclear. The present study examined functional and structural neural correlates of age-related episodic memory change assessed over 12 years in 120 older adults (range 76–90 years). Episodic memory performance was measured using the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT); functional connectivity metrics were computed from resting-state fMRI images and structural connectivity metrics were assessed through microstructural properties of reconstructed tract using a native space pipeline. We found that FCSRT change was significantly associated with the functional connectivity between the ventral PCC and three parietal regions, the ventral superior, the inferior part of the precuneus, and the rostro dorsal part of the angular gyrus. This association was independent of hippocampal volume. In addition, we found the that change in FCSRT scores was associated with fractional anisotropy of the tract connecting the ventral PCC and the ventral superior part of the precuneus. Change in episodic memory in aging was therefore related to a combination of high functional connectivity and low structural connectivity between the ventral PCC and the ventral superior part of the precuneus.< Réduire
