Abstract
The world’s population is aging at an unprecedented rate, because
the number of people aged over 60 will rise from 784 million in
2011 to 2 billion by 2050. Such a dramatic increase has made agerelated cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) a pressing
social and health concern. Work described in this volume considers scientific efforts to understand the neural mechanisms of
age-related changes in spatial navigation, both in humans and
non-human animal models.
