abstract = {It is unknown whether lifestyle, including mental
stimulation, and appropriate training interventions, may
directly improve spatial navigation performance and its
underlying neural substrates. Here we report that healthy
younger and older men performing a cognitively demanding
spatial navigation task every other day over 4 months
display navigation-related gains in performance and stable
hippocampal volumes that were maintained 4 months after
termination of training. In contrast, control groups
displayed volume decrements consistent with longitudinal
estimates of age-related decline. Hippocampal barrier
density, as indicated by mean diffusivity estimated from
diffusion tensor imaging, showed a quadratic shape of
increased density after training followed by a return to
baseline in the right hippocampus, but declined in the
control groups and in the left hippocampus. We conclude that
sustained experiential demands on spatial ability protect
hippocampal integrity against age-related decline. These
results provide the first longitudinal evidence indicating
that spatial navigation experience modifies hippocampal
volumes in humans, and confirm epidemiological results
suggesting that mental stimulation may have direct effects
on neural integrity.},
