Recent neuroimaging research shows that older adults exhibit recruitment, or increased activation on various cognitive tasks. The current study evaluated whether a similar pattern also occurs in semantic memory by evaluating age-related differences during recognition of Recent (since the 1990s) and Enduring (1950s to present) famous names. Fifteen healthy older and 15 healthy younger adults performed the name recognition task with a high and comparable degree of accuracy, although older adults had slower reaction time in response to Recent famous names. Event-related functional MRI showed extensive networks of activation in the two groups including posterior cingulate, right hippocampus, temporal lobe …

La Esclerosis múltiple (EM), es una enfermedad de naturaleza autoinmune debida a la destrucción de la capa de mielina y de las fibras nerviosas y, secundariamente, a un daño neuronal progresivo. Se caracteriza por la ocurrencia sucesiva de focos de desmielinización diseminados en tiempo y espacio en varias áreas de la sustancia blanca del SNC, incluyendo la región peri ventricular, médula espinal, tronco encefálico, cerebelo y nervio óptico. Como el diagnóstico en edad pediátrica es mucho más difícil debido a la mayor frecuencia de pacientes con Encefalomielitis Aguda Diseminada (EMAD), y al mayor reto que enfrenta el médico para tratar …
