Abstract
⺠The brain is highly responsive to androgens such as testosterone. ⺠In men, the hippocampus is vulnerable to age-related changes in testosterone. ⺠We found no significant correlation between testosterone and hippocampal volume. ⺠The heritability of hippocampal volume increases as a function of testosterone. ⺠Testosterone level is likely a valuable biomarker for brain aging in men.
