Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of the role of the main domains of the anterior cingulate cortex of the right and left hemispheres in the processes of memory in healthy elderly people, carried out with the help of the method of magnetic-resonance morphometry (МРММ). The research results show that there is a relationship between efficiency of performing various tests on memory and type of errors at extraction of a piece of information from memory with the level of development of certain parts of the anterior cingulate cortex, which allows us to put forward a hypothesis about the existence of two basic subsystems of the anterior cingulate cortex – front and rear dorsal, reciprocally affecting the implementation of neuropsychological tests on memory.
