摘要
Losses in dopamine (DA) functioning may contribute to aging-related decline in cognition. Hippocampal DA is necessary for successful episodic memory formation. Previously, we reported that higher DA D2 receptor (D2DR) availability in hippocampus is beneficial for episodic memory only in older carriers of more advantageous genotypes of wellestablished plasticity-related genetic variations, the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF, rs6265) and the kidney and brain expressed protein (KIBRA, rs17070145) polymorphisms. Extending our observations to the longitudinal level, the current data show that individuals with one or no beneficial BDNF and KIBRA genotype (n 1/4 80) decline more in episodic memory across five years, without any contribution of losses in hippocampal D2DR availability to memory decline. Although carriers of two beneficial genotypes (n 1/4 39) did not decline overall in episodic memory, losses of hippocampal D2DR availability were predictive of episodic-memory decline among these individuals. Our findings have implications for interventions targeting DA modulation to enhance episodic memory in aging, which may not benefit all older individuals. (c) 2024 The Author(s).
