TDP43 pathology is now recognized as a common and deleterious neuropathology of the aging brain. TDP43 pathology typically originates in the amygdala, which is, however, commonly affected by other age-related neurodegenerative pathologies. The purpose of this work was to investigate the effects of TDP43 pathology on the volume and shape of the amygdala in a large community cohort of older adults.
