Model of encoding-related connectivity for remembering item and background. Visual depiction of the beta weights of path coefficients of functional networks related to successful memory for emotional items and their backgrounds. As shown in legend, thicker arrows signify stronger connections between regions, solid arrows signify positive projections, and dashed arrows signify negative projections. Red arrows denote paths where coefficients for young and older adults significantly differ from each other. (a) Young adults positive scenes, (b) older adults positive scenes, (c) young adults negative scenes, (d) older adults negative scenes. Abbreviations: dlPFC, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; Lfusi, left fusiform; OFC, orbitofrontal cortex; paraHC, parahippocampus; Rfusi, right fusiform; SPL, superior parietal lobule.
