Brain representations of visual short-term memories during healthy human aging: occipital decline and frontoparietal compensation
Daniel J. Mitchell, Cam‐CAN, Rhodri Cusack
This study investigates age-related changes in visual short-term memory using fMRI decoding, finding that visual cortex representations weaken with age and load, while frontoparietal regions compensate by strengthening during memory maintenance.
