| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study aimed to elucidate relationships between daily physical activity and neural substrates in an elderly, cognitively declining population. Those with high levels of physical activity had greater functional connectivity during a resting brain state than those with lower levels of physical activity. In addition, there were no significant differences or correlations between daily physical activity and gray matter density or white matter integrity. However, elders with higher levels of physical activity had a trend of smaller left parahippocampal volumes, as compared to those with low levels of physical activity.
