Frontoparietal microstructural damage mediates age-dependent working memory decline in face and body information processing: Evidence for dichotomic hemispheric bias mechanisms.

Abstract:

:Age-associated damage in the microstructure of frontally-based connections (e.g. genu of the corpus callosum and superior longitudinal fasciculus) is believed to lead to impairments in processing speed and executive function. Using mediation analysis, we tested the potential contribution of callosal and frontoparietal association tracts to age-dependent effects on cognition/executive function as measured with 1-back working memory tasks for visual stimulus categories (i.e. faces and non-emotional bodies) in a group of 55 healthy adults (age range 23-79 years). Constrained spherical deconvolution-based tractography was employed to reconstruct the genu/prefrontal section of the corpus callosum (GCC) and the central/second branch of the superior longitudinal fasciculus (CB-SLF). Age was associated with (i) reductions in fractional anisotropy (FA) in the GCC and in the right and left CB-SLF and (iii) decline in visual object category processing. Mediation analysis revealed that microstructural damage in right hemispheric CB-SLF is associated with age-dependent decline in face processing likely reflecting the stimulus-specific/holistic nature of face processing within dedicated/specialized frontoparietal routes. By contrast, microstructural damage in left hemispheric CB-SLF associated with age-dependent decline in non-emotional body processing, consistent with the more abstract nature of non-emotional body categories. In sum, our findings suggest that frontoparietal microstructural damage mediates age-dependent decline in face and body information processing in a manner that reflects the hemispheric bias of holistic vs. abstract nature of face and non-emotional body category processing.
