Compromised temporal responsivity in fusiform areas by aging

چکیده
Introduction One of effective ways to compensate age-related memory decline is repetition. Previous studies showed that it eliminated the age-related decline in memory performance [1][2]. Recent study showed that neural mechanism underlying the effect did not differ between young and elderly groups [3]. However, they examined it with relatively small repetition numbers (e.g. [4]), and with line drawings including impossible figures. In order to study the aging effect on neural mechanism of visual repetition, we performed an fMRI study on it with longer time-constant and natural scenes.

PAPER Perceived quality of maternal care in childhood and structure and function of mothers’ brain
Animal studies indicate that early maternal care has long-term effects on brain areas related to social attachment and parenting, whereas neglectful mothering is linked with heightened stress reactivity in the hippocampus across the lifespan. The present study explores the possibility, using magnetic resonance imaging, that perceived quality of maternal care in childhood is associated with brai...

متن کاملMorphological substrate of face matching in healthy ageing and mild cognitive impairment: a combined MRI-fMRI study.
Functional MRI during face matching shows activation of the ventral visual stream, including the ventral temporal lobes and fusiform gyrus. In contrast, a location-matching task activates the dorsal visual stream, compromising parietal lobe areas. The morphological basis of the functional coupling between brain regions may be related to the distribution of neuron numbers and neuropil density, b...
متن کاملPosition selectivity in face‐sensitive visual cortex to facial and nonfacial stimuli: an fMRI study†
BACKGROUND Evidence for position sensitivity in object-selective visual areas has been building. On one hand, most of the relevant studies have utilized stimuli for which the areas are optimally selective and examine small sections of cortex. On the other hand, visual field maps established with nonspecific stimuli have been found in increasingly large areas of visual cortex, though generally n...
متن کاملSuccessful Decoding of Famous Faces in the Fusiform Face Area
What are the neural mechanisms of face recognition? It is believed that the network of face-selective areas, which spans the occipital, temporal, and frontal cortices, is important in face recognition. A number of previous studies indeed reported that face identity could be discriminated based on patterns of multivoxel activity in the fusiform face area and the anterior temporal lobe. However, ...
