Uncovering narrative aging: an underlying neural mechanism compensated through spatial constructional ability by Yumeng Li, Junying Zhang, Xin Li, Zhanjun Zhang

“…The results indicated that narrative comprises macro and micro structures, with the macrostructure involving complex cognitive processes more relevant to aging. For the brain functional basis, brain hub nodes contributing to macrostructure were predominantly found in the angular gyrus and medial frontal lobe, while microstructure hub nodes were located in the supramarginal gyrus and middle cingulate cortex. …”

From the Search for a Molecular Code of Memory to the Role of Neurotransmitters: A Historical Perspective by Georges Chapouthier

“…Therefore, the chemical bases for memory were investigated in the macromolecules of the brain. Such attempts were relatively unsuccessful, which led to a second period (starting in 1978) with the research emphasizing, in a less ambitious way, the role of the molecular correlates of mnesic processes, in particular in the main transmitter systems of the brain.…”

On the weak solutions of the forward problem in EEG by M. I. Troparevsky, D. Rubio

“…The process underlying the generation of the EEG signals can be described as a set of current sources within the brain. The potential distribution produced by these sources can be measured on the scalp and inside the brain by means of an EEG recorder. …”
