Pomegranate Juice Augments Memory and fMRI Activity in Middle-Aged and Older Adults with Mild Memory Complaints

Table 2

Spatial memory fMRI activation clusters. ANOVA results showing the coordinates of maximally activated voxels of clusters for pomegranate juice group > placebo group for 𝑡2 greater than 𝑡1 (𝑍>2.0, corrected 𝑃=0.05). No regions were found for placebo > pomegranate for 𝑡2>𝑡1.
