Testing posterior parietal cortex contributions to human episodic memory

这个项目的目的是确定顶叶脑区域参与情景记忆。使用新的实验任务和多模态神经成像技术在年轻和健康的老龄化，该项目希望澄清后顶叶结构的作用，以及它们与核心记忆结构的相互作用，在记忆检索。预期成果包括深入了解我们如何在丰富的背景细节中记住过去，以及这些过程如何在健康的老龄化中改变。这可能在预测和治疗由于脑损伤或神经变性引起的记忆功能障碍方面提供显著的益处。

This project aims to determine the involvement of parietal brain regions for episodic memory. Using novel experimental tasks and multimodal neuroimaging techniques in young and healthy aging, this project expects to clarify the role of posterior parietal structures, and their interactions with core memory structures, during memory retrieval. Expected outcomes include advanced understanding of how we remember the past in rich contextual detail, and how such processes are altered in healthy aging. This potentially provides significant benefits in predicting and treating memory dysfunction due to brain injury or neurodegeneration.
