Figure 2

A region of medial posterior cortex showing an Age x Condition X Time within trial interaction. The region of activation represents the F-map of the interaction term; it is displayed on a standard (young) reference brain from our lab. Bargraphs show the mean, for times 5, 6, 7, of the percent change in BOLD signal from time 1 (error bars are the standard error of that mean). (A) A more superior area, primarily precuneus (BA 7; −11, −71, 43) in which both young and older adults showed the pattern duties and obligations = hopes and aspirations > control; (B) A more inferior area, primarily posterior cingulate cortex, extending into cuneus, precuneus (BA23, 31; −8, −43, 25), in which young adults showed duties and obligations > hopes and aspirations > control and older adults showed duties and obligations = hopes and aspirations > control.
