There is evidence that some brain regions show age-associated volume decline and that
men undergo more accelerated cerebral aging than women. However, limited information is
available on age-associated changes during young adulthood. The authors performed
quantitative magnetic resonance imaging in 116 healthy young adults (57 men, 59 women;
age range: 18–49 years) to evaluate the relationship of age and sex with volumes of frontal
and temporal regions, including selected limbic structures and the basal ganglia …
