Decreased Brain Choline Uptake in Older Adults:An In Vivo Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study
JAMA 274:902-907, Cohen,B.M.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Uptake of circulating choline into the brain decreases with age.Given the key role of choline in neuronal structure and function,this change may be a contributing factor in onset in late life of neurodegenerative, particularly dementing,illnesses in which cholinergic neurons show particular susceptibility to loss.
