Data for behavioral results and brain regions showing a time effect during pair-association retrieval.

The current data article provides behavioral and neuroimaging data for the research article "Relatedness-dependent rapid development of brain activity in anterior temporal cortex during pair-association retrieval" (Jimura et al., 2016) [1]. Behavioral performance is provided in a table.

Lateral-Medial Dissociation in Orbitofrontal Cortex-Hypothalamus Connectivity.

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is involved in cognitive functions, and is also closely related to autonomic functions. The OFC is densely connected with the hypothalamus, a heterogeneous structure controlling autonomic functions that can be divided into two major parts: the lateral and the medial. Resting-state functional connectivity has allowed us to parcellate the cerebral cortex into putative functional areas based on the changes in the spatial pattern of connectivity in the cerebral cortex when a seed point is moved from one voxel to another.

Relatedness-dependent rapid development of brain activity in anterior temporal cortex during pair-association retrieval.

Functional MRI studies have revealed that the brain activity in the anterior temporal cortex during memory retrieval increases over months after memory encoding. Behavioral evidence has demonstrated that long-term memory can sometimes be consolidated more rapidly in one or two days. In the present functional MRI study, we manipulated the relatedness between paired faces to be retrieved in a pair-association task.

Collimator choice in cardiac SPECT with I-123-labeled tracers.

Background: Septal penetration of high-energy photons may degrade the quality of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) of the heart with iodine 123-labeled tracers. We investigated the impact of collimator choice on cardiac SPECT with I-123.

Methods And Results: SPECT of a thoracic phantom containing I-123 solution was performed with a low-energy high-resolution (LEHR) collimator, special LEHR (SLEHR) collimator, and medium-energy (ME) collimator, and the cavity-to-myocardium contrast, wall thickness, and defect contrast were compared among the collimators.

Effect of collimator choice on quantitative assessment of cardiac iodine 123 MIBG uptake.

Background: Quantitative accuracy in iodine 123 studies may be impaired by septal penetration. We evaluated the effect of collimator choice on estimation of the heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio in cardiac I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging.

Methods And Results: A low-energy high-resolution (LEHR) collimator, special LEHR (SLEHR) collimator, and medium-energy (ME) collimator were used.
