New paper alert! 🚨 We show that age-related neural dedifferentiation in scene-selective cortex is tied to changes in eye movements. Using simultaneous fMRI + eye-tracking, we found that younger adults’ fixations covary with scene specificity, but this link weakens with age.

Strikingly, we also found that cortical volume fully mediated the commonly observed association between age and reinstatement in these regions, meaning differences in reinstatement were explained by cortical volume, independently of age.

Check out the paper here: doi.org/10.1093/cerc... (2/2)

Effects of cortical thickness, volume, and memory performance on age differences in neural reinstatement of scene information

Abstract. The strength of neural reinstatement, a correlate of episodic memory retrieval, reportedly reflects the amount and fidelity of mnemonic content a

I'm thrilled that my first first-author paper in @fnim-lab.bsky.social is now out!

We found that whole-brain cortical volume predicted the strength of neural reinstatement of scene information in the parahippocampal and medial place areas (PPA & MPA in the figure below). (1/2)

New Paper Alert! de Chastelaine et al found that young adults are able to employ 'retrieval gating' to allow mnemonic content to be aligned with a retrieval goal, but older adults failed to do this even when their memory was boosted to match young adults! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In a recent review, @adekstreme.bsky.social and I revisit how spatial navigation breaks down in aging and early Alzheimer’s disease - and why it’s not just about the brain.
