摘要: Several recent studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during recognition memory tests have suggested that the ability to neuromodulate as a function of cognitive demand may be impaired in older adults due age-related cell loss and neural volume reduction specific regions. In current study, (ages 59-77) were tested with fMRI delayed-recognition task which load for faces was varied across trials. Activity greater amplitude three- versus one-face stimuli within superior, middle, inferior frontal gyri, intraparietal sulcus, fusiform gyrus. It concluded modulate activity increasing is preserved despite reductions volume.
