Abstract
Inflammation is proposed as one of the central pillars driving ageing. This study was the first to link peripheral inflammation to brain metabolite differences during normal ageing and to associate this to visuo-spatial working memory performance. Our data shows how peripheral inflammatory markers were associated with performance on visuo-spatial working memory and glial metabolic markers in ACC, Hippocampus, and Thalamus. The findings highlight the role of glial cells as part of the neurobiological link between peripheral inflammation and cognitive performance during ageing.
