Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The prefrontal involvement in facial memory was examined by using functional MRI (fMRI). Ten healthy subjects performed three types of tasks, gender discrimination, encoding, and recognition. During the encoding task, the right prefrontal and bilateral medial frontal cortices were activated. During the recognition task were involved the bilateral prefrontal, medial frontal and the right parietal cortices. Almost no activation was observed in the frontal or parietal lobes during the gender discrimination task. The right prefrontal cotices seems to be involved more than the left during the encoding as well as the recognition for faces, which is different from the results of the tasks with words or sentences.
