Posted on June 15, 2018
Authors: Nicco Reggente, Joey K.Y. Essoe, Zahra M. Aghajan, Amir V. Tavakoli, Joseph F. McGuire, Nanthia A. Suthana, Jesse Rissman Article: PDF Plain English: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful research tool to understand the neural underpinnings of human memory. However, as memory is known to be context-dependent, differences in contexts between naturalistic settings […]
Memory Recall for High Reward Value Items Correlates With Individual Differences in White Matter Pathways Associated With Reward Processing and Fronto-Temporal Communication
Posted on June 15, 2018
Authors: Nicco Reggente, Michael S. Cohen, (Amy) Zhong S. Zheng, Alan D. Castel, Barbara J. Knowlton, Jesse Rissman Article: PDF Plain English: We observed individual differences in a value-directed remembering task. White matter integrity within the Uncinate Fasciculus correlated with memory strength for high-value items. This relationship was also seen for the tract connecting the […]

Publication: Coming Soon SfN 2013 Poster: Reggente_SfN_2013 Summary: We used DTI to explore anatomical accounts for individual differences in the behavioral effects of value-directed remembering. We examined connectivity within the mesolimbic system by using probabilistic tractography algorithms to compute anatomical connectivity between each subject’s nucleus accumbens(NAcc) and ventral tegmental area(VTA). We also extracted mean fractional anisotropy […]
