No Association of Lower Hippocampal Volume With Alzheimer's Disease Pathology in Late-Life Depression.

CONCLUSIONS: Lower hippocampal volume was not related to amyloid pathology in this sample of patients with late-life depression. These data counter the common belief that changes in hippocampal volume in late-life depression are due to prodromal Alzheimer's disease. PMID: 27539488 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
