abstract = {In humans, environmental enrichment (EE), as measured by
the engagement in a variety of leisure activities, has been
associated with larger hippocampal structure and better
memory function. The present cross-sectional study assessed
whether EE during early life (13-30 years) and midlife
(30-65 years) is associated with better preserved
memory-related brain activity patterns in older age.In
total, 372 cognitively unimpaired older adults (aged ≥60
years old) of the DZNE-Longitudinal Study on Cognitive
Impairment and Dementia (DELCODE; DRKS00007966) were
investigated. EE was operationalized using items of the
Lifetime of Experiences Questionnaire (LEQ), which measures
the self-reported participation in a variety of leisure
activities in early life and midlife. The preservation of
memory-related functional brain activity was assessed using
single-value scores, which relate older adults' brain
activity patterns in the temporo-parieto-occipital memory
network to those of young adults during visual memory
encoding (FADE and SAME scores).EE during early life and
midlife was significantly associated with higher SAME scores
during novelty processing (n = 372, β = 0.13, p = 0.011).
Thus, older participants with higher EE showed greater
similarity of functional brain activity patterns during
novelty processing with young adults. This positive
association was observed most strongly in participants with
subjective cognitive decline (SCD, n = 199, β = 0.20, p =
0.006).More frequent participation in a variety of leisure
activities in early life and midlife is associated with more
successful aging of functional brain activity patterns in
the memory network of older adults, including participants
at increased risk for dementia. Longitudinal studies are
needed to clarify whether higher EE during life could help
preserve memory network function in later life.},
