We investigate the cognitive neuroscience of memory by using functional MRI (fMRI) to examine the neural correlates of episodic memory (memory for personally experienced past events) in healthy young and older adults. We have been pursuing four main lines of research: (1) basic episodic memory processes, (2) autobiographical memory, (3) emotional memory, and (4) cognitive aging.
