The
frequency of naming errors increases in normal aging. In this study we examined an elderly cohort
of subjects; classified their naming difficulties and correlated this with
high resolution structural MRI images.
Different regions were structurally correlated for reduced semantic,
phonological and visual perception errors, including the inferior temporal
lobe, middle temporal lobe, and occipital-parietal regions.
