摘要

本文旨在通过功能磁共振成像(functional magnetic resonance imaging, fMRI)技术研究正常人进行长时数字记忆信息提取的神经基础。选取22名右利手志愿者进行长时数字记忆任务实验，采用组块设计，记忆任务与对照任务交替进行，同时利用Siemens 1.5T超导型磁共振仪进行fMRI成像，采用SPM99软件进行数据分析，脑功能区定位在Talairach坐标中显示。结果显示被试者在进行长时数字记忆提取任务时，激活最显著的皮层是左侧额中回(Brodmann分区9区，BA 9区)，另外左额叶内侧回、左额下回、右额下回、扣带回、左顶下小叶、左顶上小叶、右顶上小叶、右颞中回、左枕舌回、左枕中回、右中脑、小脑、右尾状核尾部等结构也有激活，各大脑皮层的激活均呈现明显的左侧半球优势。根据上述结果推论，长时数字记忆由以左侧大脑半球为优势的各脑区共同参与完成，其中左侧额叶外侧面可能是信息提取的重要结构，而其它脑叶及其之间的广泛联系可能在数字信息的加工、处理和存储中起重要作用。

Abstract

To investigate the neuronal mechanism of retrieval of long-term digital memory in healthy volunteers, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique was used in the study. Twenty-two right-handed volunteers were subjected to a long-term digital memory test with block-design. The memory task and control task were adopted in the experiment alternatively. The fMRI data were recorded by a Siemens 1.5T MR machine and analyzed by SPM99. The activated brain regions were shown in the Talairach coordinate. The results showed that the Brodmann’s area (BA) 9 region in left middle frontal gyrus was the most activated cortex during the long-term digital memory task. The left medial frontal gyrus, left inferior frontal gyrus, right inferior frontal gyrus, cingulate gyrus, left inferior parietal lobule, left superior parietal lobule, right superior parietal lobule, right middle temporal gyrus, left lingual gyrus, left middle occipital gyrus, right middle brain, cerebellum and right caudate nucleus tail were also involved. The activation in cortices showed obvious left predominance. It is suggested that a series of brain regions with left predominance are involved in long-term digital memory. Left lateral frontal cortex would be the most important structure for information extraction, while the other cortices and their connections may be important for processing and long-term storage of digital information.

Key words: Learning and memory; functional magnetic resonance imaging; prefrontal cortex; brain
