Remembering is the ability to bring back to mind episodes from
one's past and is presumably accomplished by multiple, interdependent processes. In the present functional magnetic resonance imaging study,
neural correlates of three hypothesized components of remembering were
explored, including those associated with control, perceived oldness,
and retrieved content. Levels of each component were separately
manipulated by varying study procedures and sorting trials by subject
response. Results suggest that specific regions in the left prefrontal
cortex, including anterior-ventral Brodmann's Area (BA) 45/47
and more dorsal BA 44, increase activity when high levels of control
are required but do not necessarily modulate on the basis of perceived
oldness. Parietal and frontal regions, particularly the left parietal
cortex near BA 40/39, associate with the perception that information is
old and generalize across levels of control and retrieved content.
Activity in the parietal cortex correlated with perceived oldness even
when judgments were in error. The inferior temporal cortex near BA
19/37 associated differentially with retrieval of visual object
content. Within the ventral visual processing stream, content-based
modulation was specific to late object-responsive regions, suggesting
an efficient retrieval process that spares areas that process more primitive retinotopically mapped visual features. Taken collectively, the results identify neural correlates of distinct components of
remembering and provide evidence for a functional dissociation. Frontal
regions may contribute to control processes that interact with
different posterior regions that contribute a signal that information
is old and support the contents of retrieval.
