Table 3. Between-group differences in regional brain activation during a verbal paired associates learning task. a .
Task condition | Brain Region (Broadmann area) | Side | Talairach Coordinates (x, y, z) | Cluster size | Cluster p value |
PVH+VD < UPVH < normal VPT < controls | |||||
Encoding | Middle frontal gyrus (46) extends: anteriorly to right middle frontal gyrus (10) and inferiorly to inferior frontal gyrus (46) | R | 41, 36, 16 | 28 | 0.0051 |
Recall | Posterior cingulate gyrus (30) extends: superiorly to posterior cingulate (31) bilaterally | R | 14, −62, 13 | 53 | 0.0035 |
Results refer to encoding and recall conditions contrasted with ‘fonts discrimination’ condition (baseline).
