Word list memory encoding and retrieval and word list recall test
ENCODING HC
Decreased
R/L basal ganglia, R/L cingulate gyrus, R inferior frontal gyrus, R inferior and superior parietal cortex, R inferior, medial and superior frontal gyrus, L prefrontal cortex, L precentral gyrus, and R hippocampus
HC performance on immediate word recall was correlated with activation in L inferior frontal gyrus during retrieval ()
MCI
Increased
L superior temporal gyrus, L thalamus, putamen and globus pallidus, R inferior parietal cortex, R superior frontal gyrus, and R cerebellum
RETRIEVAL HC
Increased
R middle temporal gyrus, thalamus, R superior temporal gyrus, R putamen, R/L precuneus, L superior temporal gyrus, L inferior frontal gyrus, and R hippocampus
MCI
Increased
L postcentral gyrus, L inferior parietal lobule, L inferior and supramarginal gyrus, R/L posterior cingulate, R/L superior temporal gyrus, R insula, and L middle frontal gyrus
MCI performance on delayed word recall was correlated with activation in R inferior parietal lobule during encoding ()
COT MCI post > pre encoding
Cingulate and medial frontal gyri () and R inferior parietal lobule ()
Retrieval
L middle frontal gyrus () R superior Parietal lobule ()
Face name Associative encoding and off-scan recognition task
TS > US
Increased
R/L medial frontal cortex; medial parietal cortex, precuneus, medial occipital cortex, L frontal operculum, L temporoparietal junction, and L temporal cortex
U S > TS
Increased
L middle occipital gyrus
U S > RS
Increased
L occipital cortex, L inferior frontal cortex and R/L inferior parietal cortex. The activations on inferior frontal gyrus, inferior frontal sulcus, superior middle occipital gyrus and fusiform area could be related to attempts to generalize the trained strategies
SR and UR Word Lists memory encoding with off-scan free recall
HC
Increased
L middle frontal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus, dorsal premotor cortex, posterior parietal cortex, angular gyrus within intraparietal sulcus borders
Performance on encoding the SR list was correlated with activations in orbitofrontal cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, and anterior cingulate HC - higher performance correlated with greater decrease on activations () MCI - higher performance correlated with greater increase on activations ()
Decreased
R superior frontal gyrus, vmPFC, L inferior Parietal Cortex, infero-lateral Temporal cortex, posterior cingulate and precuneus
MCI
Increased
L middle frontal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus, dorsal premotor cortex, posterior parietal cortex, angular gyrus within intraparietal sulcus borders
