Age mediation of frontoparietal activation during visual feature search.
(Neuroimage, 2014-11-15)
Activation of frontal and parietal brain regions is associated with attentional control
during visual search. We used fMRI to characterize age-related differences in frontoparietal
activation in a highly efficient feature ...
