The hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex build a neural circuitry within the medial temporal lobe that is critical for the formation of long-term memory. Dysfunction of specific hippocampal and entorhinal subregions has been implicated in cognitive aging and early stages of Alzheimer´s disease. The current work aimed to investigate the functional anatomy and exercise-related plasticity of the human hippocampal-entorhinal circuitry by means of 7 Tesla ultra-high field functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The current work highlights the potential of 7T high-resolution imaging for studying memory function of the human medial temporal lobe but also points to the challenges that high-field MRI poses.
