Episodic memory is sensitive to the effects of age and very disrupted in Alzheimer’s disease. It is the first memory system to decline in both normal and pathological aging.

69 70



Neuroimaging studies have been fundamental in distinguishing between normal aging and AD: they

71

have shown a particular pattern of morphological and functional distinct brain damage. The prefrontal

72

cortex seems to be affected first in non-demented adults whereas the hippocampus is the primary

73

structural disorder in this neurological disease.

74 75



76

Interindividualvariabilities observed during episodic memory performances could be due to several factors including lifestyle and genetic factors.

Additional or different neurocognitive processes seem to develop both in normal and pathological brains to offset the deficit of episodic memory.

Abstract

83

Age-related cognitive changes often include difficulties in retrieving memories, particularly those that rely on

84

personal experiences within their temporal and spatial contexts (i.e., episodic memories).This decline mayvary

85

depending on the studied phase (i.e., encoding, storage or retrieval), according to inter-individual differences,

86

and whether we are talking about normal or pathological (e.g., Alzheimer disease; AD) aging. Such cognitive

87

changesare associated with different structural and functional alterations in the human neural network

88

thatunderpins episodic memory. The prefrontal cortex is the first structure to be affected by age, followed by the

89

medial temporal lobe (MTL), the parietal cortex and the cerebellum. In AD, however, the modifications occur

90

mainly in the MTL (hippocampus and adjacent structures) before spreading to the neocortex. In this review, we

91

will present results that attempt to characterize normal and pathological cognitive aging at multiple levels by

92

integrating structural, behavioral, inter-individual and neuroimaging measures of episodic memory.

1/ Introduction

97

According to Eurostat (the European Statistical Institute),the proportion of people over 65 years old will

98

increase until 2060, when it will reaching 30% of the European population (compared to 16% in 2010). At this

99

same time, people over 80 years are predicted to represent 12% of the population (compared to 5% in 2010).

100

According to the European Commission’s 2009 Ageing Report, the number of European persons older than 65

101

years suffering from at least one disability in activities of daily living will more than double between 2007 and

102

2060, reaching 44.4 million by the latter date.This consistent increase inthe aging population will come with

103

important health and economic stakes (Freund and Smeeding, 2010; Lutz et al., 2008). We will be challenged to

104

allow this aging to occurunder the best possible conditions, and this will need to ‘create a substantial financial

105

burden. In 2010, expenses related to the frail elderly (seniors who have lost autonomy) in France were estimated

106

to be between 27 and 34 billion euros.

107

Normal aging generally induces cognitive impairment, with older people often considered to be less

108

efficient than younger people in using memory, attention, visuospatial capacities or executive functions. While

109

most aging individuals experience some degree of “normal” cognitive change, the incidence of the

110

neurodegenerative diseases collectively classified as “dementia” also increases dramatically with age.Among

111

them, alzheimer disease (AD) constitutes the leading cause of dementia in persons aged over 60 years, reaching

112

6.7% in subjects 75-79 years old and 31.15% in those over 85 years old (Helmer et al., 2006).

113

One of the earliest cognitive changes in aging, and the one that has probably received the most

114

attention, is the alteration of memory (Grady, 2008; Park and Gutchess, 2002). Older people exhibit changes in

115

the quality of their memories (Friedman et al., 2010; Piolino et al., 2006; Schacter et al., 1997), in

116

associationwith difficulties in remembering (Craik and Bialystok, 2006; Davis et al., 2003; Ozen and Rezaki,

117

2007). Memory changes are also the most striking cognitive alterations seen in pathological aging, butmemory

118

loss in normal aging qualitatively differs from that associated with a diagnosis of AD (for review, see Budson

119

and Price, 2005). Major research efforts have focused on trying to distinguish the memory declines attributable

120

to normal aging from those that indicate pathological aging, particularly AD(e.g. Ghosh et al., 2011). Such

121

studies have shown that we do not have unitary memory; rather, both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies

122

have demonstrated that the different memory component systems do not age uniformly, but instead show

123

differential vulnerabilities to the effects of aging (Brickman and Stern, 2009).

124

The long-term memory (LTM) system is divided into two broad classes: explicit (declarative) memory,

125

which requires the conscious recall of information, and implicit (non-declarative) memory, which is based on

126

implicit learning (Squire, 1987). Implicit memory includes procedural memory and the Perceptual

127

Representation System (PRS),sustainingpriming effects and operant or classical conditioning. In contrast,

128

declarative memory is subdivided into semantic memory and episodic memory (EM). Semantic memoryis

129

related to general facts and knowledge,whereas EM is a cognitive system that enables an individual to record (or

130

encode), store, and retrieve information about personal experiences and the temporal and spatial contexts of

131

those experiences (first defined by Tulving, 1972). The classic model of EM refers to both the autobiographical

132

recollection of one’s personal past experiences (e.g., What did you eat for breakfast this morning?) and

133

laboratory tasks requiring the conscious recognition or recall of experimental materials (e.g., a list of words).

134

Although autobiographical memory (AM) has often been equated with EM, it is important to distinguish

135

between the two. AM may encompass long periods and is defined by self-related information processing,

136

subjective emotional evaluation of memories and a quick, intuitive and pre-conscious feeling of certainty (a

5

137

“feeling of rightness”)to control the veracity and cohesiveness of retrieved memories (Cabeza and St. Jacques,

138

2007; Gilboa, 2004; Moscovitch and Winocur, 2002).This memory system consists of episodes recollected from

139

an individual’s life based on the combination of episodic (also called episodic autobiographical memory) and

140

personal semantic memory (semantic autobiographical memory). In other words, it includes both one’s self-

141

knowledgeand the memories that surround this self-knowledge (e.g. Abram et al., 2014; Markowitsch and

142

Staniloiu, 2011; Martinelli et al., 2013).Experimental memory, in contrast, is measured in seconds, minutes and

143

hours; it is rare and only really considered in cases of psychological and laboratory experiments. Wheeler et al.

144

(1997) proposed that,unlike AM, EM requires elaborate, conscious monitoring and awareness to avoid omissions

145

and repetitions, and also involvesthe intentional use of retrieval strategies. As AM and its age-related declines

146

have already been the subject of many studies and reviews (e.g. Piolino, 2003), the present review will only

147

address experimental episodic memory (referred to as EM hereafter).

148

The above-described types of memory are all part of the LTM system, where information can remain

149

for an infinite time(Glisky, 2007). In contrast, working memory (WM) refers to the active storage and cognitive

150

manipulation of information necessary for complex cognitive tasks, in order to achieve an immediate goal (e.g.,

151

remembering a phone number). WM is a subcomponent of short-term memory (STM), whichis known to involve

152

the passive maintenance of information in the mind over a short period(Cowan, 2008). A classification of the

153

different memory systems is presented in Figure 1.

154

Aging affects the various memory systems to different degrees, and numerous inter-individual

155

differences are seen. While some older adults have significant cognitive deficits, others maintain performances

156

equal to those of younger individuals(e.g. Angel et al., 2010; Butler et al., 2004; Shimamura et al., 1995). Some

157

systems, such as short-term and procedural memory, do not seem to be affected by normal aging (Brickman and

158

Stern, 2009; Craik, 1977; Nilsson, 2003; Zacks et al., 2000). Semantic memory also appears to be immune to

159

some of the effects of aging, in that general knowledge and vocabulary are well maintained in older adults (e.g.

160

Verhaeghen, 2003; Kennedy et al., 2015).In contrast, EM is highly affected by aging (e.g. Balota et al., 2000;

161

Luo and Craig, 2008; McDaniel et al. 2008). This is likely to reflect that EM depends on many processes that are

162

underlain by a vast cerebral network. The frontal system, which gives EM a certain consistency by organizing

163

information, acts in parallel with the temporal hippocampal system in controlling and organizing the encoding

164

and retrieval of EM information via the selection, initiation, elaboration and implementation of relevant

165

strategies (Kraemer et al., 2005).Other (far less well studied) structuresare also involved, such as the parietal

166

cortex and the cerebellum (the best studied among them), as well as the thalamus and the cingulate gyrus (Wiggs

167

et al., 1999; for review, see Cabeza and Nyberg, 2000).Changes at the neuroanatomical, neurophysiological and

168

neurochemical levels of the central nervous system are likely to underpin the observed age-related decline in

169

EM: decrease in white and gray matters volumes, neuronal numbers and size, reduced efficiency of synaptic

170

contacts and decreases in the concentrations of neurotransmitters (Raz, 2000; Burke and Barnes, 2006; Deenis

171

and Cabeza, 2008 for a review).All of these changes preferentially affect the frontal brain regions (for review,

172

see West, 1996). Post mortem (Meltzer et al., 2003) and in vivo studies haveshown that, compared to the brains

173

of young adults, the brains of older adults tend to have lower volumes of gray matter according to an antero-

174

posterior gradient (Resnik et al., 2003). Cross-sectional studies suggest that the gray matter volume declines

175

steadily across the adult lifespan, whereas the white matter volume increases linearly from birth to young

176

adulthood, plateaus during middle age, and declines during old age (Raz et al., 2005). In vivo volumetric studies

177

of healthy volunteers have revealed the presence of a significant hippocampal shrinkage (up to 1.18% per year)in

178

people in their mid-50s (Lemaître et al., 2005; Raz et al., 2004; Resnick et al., 2000; see also Fjell et al., 2009),

6

179

and to an early and severe atrophy of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) after the age of 20, with an estimated average

180

decline of about 5% per decade (Raz and Rodrigue, 2006). On a larger scale, this selective PFC decline observed

181

in the elderly (particularly in the dorsolateral PFC; Kraemer et al., 2005) is associated with degradation of the

182

executive functions (Allain et al., 2007; Raz, 2000; Shallice, 1982; West, 1996), which are a heterogeneous set

183

of high-level cognitive processes that allow the subject to show flexible behavior and adapt to new

184

situations(e.g., anticipation, planning, monitoring and control of action; problem solving; task flexibility;

185

selection of relevant information; inhibition of automatic responses; and the exclusion of information that

186

isirrelevant for the execution of a given task).All of these functions are involved in both encoding and retrieving

187

information (Benton, 1994; Isingrini and Taconnat, 2008). Research in this area has repeatedly shown that

188

alterations in the PFC negatively impact the functioning of memory, especially in its strategic aspects; EM

189

deficits are also likely to reflect the degradation of certain cognitive resources, such as speed processing,

190

inhibitory functions and attentional resources(e.g., Glisky, 2007; Groth and Allen, 2000; Wascher et al., 2012).

191

The first data regarding cognitive aging, particularlychanges in EM, were collected from studies of

192

brain-damaged patients (Wheeler et al., 1995; for review, see Werkle-Bergner et al., 2006)and experimentally

193

lesioned animals (Aggleton and Brown, 1999; Miller and Cohen,2001). More recently, functional neuroimaging

194

techniques, such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET),

195

have been used to determine the brain modifications related to this decline. Meanwhile, cognitive aging studies

196

have described the effects of aging on behavioral performance, and neurobiological studies have characterized

197

the effects of aging on the brain. Then, in vivo neuroimaging techniques have been used to bridge the gap

198

between these two techniques, allowing researchers to characterize the brain in action and examinethe neural

199

substrates of cognitive aging that link behavior and function.The present paper aims to review neuroimaging

200

results, especially fMRI and PET studies, andexplore the functional and cerebral activations associated with EM

201

and behavioral disorders in the healthy elderly and patients with Alzheimer-type dementia.

2/ Episodic memory processes and cerebral substrates

208

A major feature of the EM system, unlike other systems of LTM facing the present,is the ability to be

209

aware of personal memories. This arises via“mental time travel” (Tulving, 2002), which is our ability to relieve

210

past experiences and project ourselves into the future. EM is fundamental to the individual, as memories of

211

personal experiences form the basis for the construction of identity. This memory can be tested verbally or non-

212

verbally.During an episodic retrieval task,an individual is usually able to associate an EM (e.g. a word from a

213

list) with particular details, such as the relevantemotion, time, place, and other particulars. The quality of

214

memory storage depends on the processes involved in the encoding, storage and recovery of information (Figure

215

2).

7

216

2.1/ Encoding

217

Encoding operates through the transformation of information that comes from external stimuli (e.g.,

218

perceptual and sensory details, personal information, or spatial and temporal details) or triggers cognitive

219

processes, and integrates the data in the form of a mental representation. Various sources are generally used to

220

test experimental EM encoding; these can include verbal material (words), non-verbal material (pictures, scenes,

221

objects, music, etc.), andthe context (i.e., source memory), the latter of which refers to the conditions

222

surrounding the encoding of a particular episodic memory and the features under which it was acquired (Johnson

223

et al., 1993). The context can serve as an indication for future recovery, asthe recollection of contextual details

224

can allow an individual to distinguish a specific event from other similar events. During tests of contextual

225

memoryparticipants are asked about the source of the experience (e.g.,Did person A or B report the event?), and

226

various contextual details, including the color (e.g., Guo et al., 2013), vocal (e.g., Glisky et al., 2001), visual

227

(e.g.,Fernandes and Manios, 2012), spatial (Cansino et al., 2015), and emotional (e.g., Bo and Xiao-Lan, 2012)

228

context in which a word or event was presented. All of these details contribute to making EM multimodal,

229

contextual, associative, and unique. Encoding is the first stage of memory, and it is crucial for the storage and

230

retrieval ofvoluntary stored information. Many authors have described the processes of EM within a

231

constructivist design (e.g., Schacter et al., 1998). During learning, the brain must form a neural representation of

232

the new experience. A personally experienced episode is represented as a pattern of features that correspond to

233

the different facets processed during the encoding of the episode(Gottlieb et al., 2012). These features are widely

234

distributed in the brain, such that no single location contains a complete record of the memory trace of a specific

235

episode(Squire, 1992). Multiple sensory structuresprocess the different stimuli and information regarding the

236

identity of perceptualobjects and events. For example, the visual cortex is responsible for recognizing faces,

237

letters, and the colors of letters, while the olfactory and auditory cortices recognize other facets of an experience.

238

The neuronal activities arising from these cortices converge into the medial temporal lobe (MTL), where the

239

perirhinal cortex, the lateral entorhinal area, the parahippocampal cortex and the medial entorhinal cortex treat

240

the information.The inputs then converge at the hippocampus to become cohesive memories of individual events

241

via the formation (“binding”)of EM (Kessels et al., 2007; Lekeu et al., 2002; Piolino et al., 2010). When such

242

binding is faulty or absent, the individual may recover only fragments of the episode, not the whole pattern

243

(Clayton et al., 2003). After binding, the outputs of the hippocampusreturn to the cortical areas from which the

244

inputs arose (i.e., the perirhinal–lateral entorhinal cortex and parahippocampal–medial entorhinal

245

cortex).However, information reaches the hippocampus every second of every day.The amygdala filters

246

memories by evaluating their emotional content: if this latter is strong, this part of the brain informs the

247

hippocampus to enhance storage of the event (e.g. Phelps, 2004).When an individual recalls a memory, the

248

printed neural map in the hippocampus is reactivated, mobilizing the brain regions that were involved in forming

249

the memory (i.e., the visual, olfactory and auditory cortices). This was shown by Wheeler et al. (2000), who

250

reported that the sensory regions specifically activated during the encoding of images (occipital cortex) or

251

sounds (temporal cortex) were reactivated when these memories were recalled. In parallel,a dialog between the

252

hippocampus and the PFC allows the memory to re-emerge into consciousness (Preston and Eichenbaum, 2013).

253

The type of information processing that occurs during the encoding stage determines the quality of both

254

the encoding and the recovery of that information. Before the emergence of the neuroimaging techniques

255

thatallow researchers to study the neuroanatomical bases of the encoding process, this process was primarily

256

studied by manipulating the nature of the stimuli (verbal, pictorial), the sensory modality (auditory, visual), the

8

257

time of presentation, and the way in which the studied individuals implemented strategies to better learn and

258

remember information (e.g., mental rehearsal, phonological association, and organization of the material, such as

259

through the construction of sentences or semantic categorization)(Gershberg and Shimamura, 1995; Turner et al.,

260

2007).According to the treatment level design proposed by Craik and Lockhart in 1972, “the persistence of the

261

memory trace is a function of the depth of treatment, levels of deep treatment being associated with more

262

elaborate memory traces stronger in time, and more robust.”Indeed, the deeper the treatment, the stronger and

263

lasting the memory trace. Superficial encoding simply relies on the structure of the stimulus (e.g. the number of

264

vowels in a word), whereas deep encoding (e.g. the production of mental images) gives meaning to the stimulus,

265

explores its relationship with other objects or situations, and thus has a positive impact on the memory trace(see

266

Galli, 2014 for review).

267

The relevant studies typically fall into two groups: intentional and incidental encoding studies. During

268

the former, participants are scanned while attempting to memorize words, faces, objects, or spatial routes.

269

During incidental encoding, in contrast, participants are usually asked to make a judgment concerning the stimuli

270

presented during encoding (i.e., regarding semantics or size), without any attempt at memorization. To assess the

271

neural bases of EM encoding using fMRI or evoked potentials, many authors have used the subsequent memory

272

paradigm (also referred to as the “difference due to memory” or “Dm” paradigm) (Sanquist et al. 1980). In this

273

paradigm, participants encode stimuli either intentionally or incidentally during scanning, and theneural activity

274

associated with successful encoding of items that are subsequently remembered in a recognition test is compared

275

to that observed during the encoding of items that are subsequently forgotten (Brewer et al., 1998; Wagner et

276

al.,1998; for review, see Paller and Wagner, 2002). Several neuroimaging studies have shown, for example, that

277

when neural activity supports successful encoding,thefMRI signal is greater for stimuli that are subsequently

278

remembered compared to those that are forgotten (e.g. Bernard et al., 2004; Duverne et al., 2009; Kim, 2011).

279

According to some studies, the encoding process seems to be disturbed by aging, with encoding

280

deficiencies predominating over retrieval deficits in older adults (e.g. Friedman et al., 2007; Morcom et al.,

281

2003). Nevertheless, encoding maintains a strong link with retrieval, and it is very difficult to separate the effects

282

of encoding from those of retrieval in behavioral studies. This especially true given that retrieval tasks are used

283

to measure memory performance,the success of retrieval depends on the success of encoding, andsome theories

284

favor an overlap between these two processes.Most of the research on encoding has been conducted in rather

285

young or rather old adults, with the younger adults usedas the reference group for comparison. This makes sense

286

given that younger adults usually encode with much higher accuracy (Miller, 2013). Age-related declines in

287

source memory are considered to be important for explaining the age-related deficits in EM. In

288

addition,features(i.e. physical, visual, olfactory…) are less well remembered by older adults compared to

289

younger adults, with older individuals showing poorer memory for the perceptual features of auditory inputs,

290

such as a speaker’s voice (e.g. Bayen and Murnane, 1996).

291

2.2/ Consolidation or storage

292

After the encoding phase, a process of information consolidation is initiated, allowing performance to

293

be maintained andreorganized into LTM.Two models of consolidation exist: the Standard Model (SM) of

294

memory consolidation and the Multiple Memory Trace (MTT) (Nadel et al., 2007). First described by Scoville

295

and Milner (1957), the SM theory stipulates that memory storage initially requires the hippocampus to linkthe

296

different features of the memory, which are dispersed across numerous sites in the neocortex (Alvarez and

9

297

Squire, 1994; Dudai, 2004; Squire and Alvarez, 1995). Over time, however, the requirement for the

298

hippocampus dissipates (Meeter and Murre, 2004) and the representation of the memory becomes solely

299

dependent on the neocortical storage sites (Frankland and Bontempi, 2005). This change in function over time is

300

believed to account for the retrograde amnesia gradients often seen in patients with hippocampal damage. In

301

contrast, the MTT theory posits that all memory traces incorporated since birth are combined into a multiple-

302

trace representation in the brain. In this model, the hippocampus and neocortex continue to interact with each

303

other during EM,forming the memory trace of an episode (Nadel and Moscovitch, 1997 for a review; Nadel et

304

al., 2000). Contrary to the SM theory, the concept of MTTassumes that the MTL has no longer a temporary role

305

in the storage and retrieval of memory but a permanent one. The hippocampus is always involved whenever

306

detailed, contextual information is recalled (Hoscheidt et al., 2010; Piolino et al., 2008; Winocur et al., 2010;

307

Figure 2). However, semantic information of the memory, which has no contextual richness and would then be

308

more a schematic version of the memory, seems to be established in the neocortex alone(Harand et al.,

309

2012;Nadel et Moscovitch, 1997).Episodic memories consolidation is measured by delayed recall in time of the

310

previously recorded information (encoding) and after an interfering activity.However, this recall will only be

311

useful if theimmediate free recall is correct (see below), insofar as only properly encoded information can be

312

consolidated. Sleep is an important step in the consolidation of memory (e.g.Walker andStickgold, 2006), as the

313

neural sequences involved in daytime learning are reactivated during the deep sleep and REM (Rapid Eye

314

Movement)sleep phases (e.g. Rauchs et al., 2010). The effect of sleep on memory consolidation in aging has

315

only been sparsely studied, and appears to be characterized by wide inter-subject variability in the elderly

316

(Dudai, 2004; McGaugh, 2000; see also Alberini and Leroux, 2014).Therefore, we will only mention it briefly

317

here.

318

2.3/ Retrieval

319

Unlike short-term memory, LTMrequires the retrieval of information that is no longer being maintained

320

in an active state. Retrieval processes are required to reactivate its mental representations and return the

321

individual to his or her conscious experience of the event (Tulving, 1983).The aging process strongly affects

322

retrieval, but the importanceof such age-related differences may differ depending on the task used to assess EM

323

performance (e.g., free recall, cued recall or recognition)(for reviews, see Balota et al., 2000; Brett et al., 2012;

324

Craik and Jennings, 1992; Light, 1991; Luo and Craik, 2008; McDaniel et al., 2008; Zacks et al., 2000). In free

325

recall (Arnold andMcDermott, 2013), a person is given a list of items to remember during encoding (e.g., words,

326

sounds or pictures) and is then tested by being asked to recall as many items as possible in any order following a

327

delay of variable duration. The experimenter notes the number of items correctly recalled as well as the number

328

of intrusions (words that were not studied but are mistakenly recalled), which is more likely in AD patients than

329

in normal controls (Dalla Barba and Wong, 1995).

330

In cued recall, a person is given a list of items to remember during encoding and is then tested with cues

331

aimed at helping them remember the material, such as the shape of the first two or three letters of an encoded

332

word, or the first word of a pair ofencoded words.

333

Recognitionrefers to an individual’s ability to judge whether an event or item had been

334

previously“lived” or “seen”.Participants study a list of stimuli, and are then scanned while being given an old–

335

new recognition test in which they are asked to judge whether they recognize the item as “old” (seen during the

336

study phase) or “new” (Besson et al., 2013 for a review). Within the settings of either an event-related fMRI

10

337

paradigm or event-related potentials, the neural activity associated with correct “old” responses (hits) is

338

contrasted with the activity associated with correct “new” responses (correct rejections). Two other basic

339

categories of recognition memory errors are often encountered during memory tests: false alarms (i.e., false

340

recognitions) and misses(i.e., the failure to identify a previous occurrence as old) (Schacter et al., 1997). These

341

memorydistortions (or false memories) occur when a remembered event either never occurred or the memory

342

differs substantially from reality.False memories can be experimentally induced by usingtheDeese-Roediger-

343

McDermott (DRM) paradigm, (Roediger and McDermott,1995).

344

In recent years, the measures of EMin recognition studies have evolved to take into account two

345

essential components: responses that depend on controlled retrieval (“recollection”) and those that rely on a

346

simple judgment of familiarity. Recollection is defined as “the mental reinstatement ofa previous event”

347

(Skinner and Fernandes, 2007). Details of a memory are recalled, such as the sounds associated with an event,

348

the emotions felt during the first presentation of the item or event, and/or the mental state of the subject being

349

tested. Familiarity, in turn, refers to the subject’s being able to sense that an event (or an item) has been

350

experienced in the past, but being unable to recall any detail. Thus, it is possible to achieve some memory tasks

351

when the recall is impaired and but the familiarity (or lack thereof) is not. The form of consciousness associated

352

with the memory also distinguishes these two forms of response, with autonoetic consciousness associated with

353

EM for recollection, andnoetic consciousness involving internal representations and linked to semantic memory

354

for familiarity(Gardiner and Richarson-Klavehn, 2000). Using the Remember/Know paradigm (R/K; Tulving,

355

1985), it is now classical to separately evaluate these two forms of information accessusing an introspective

356

approach that aims to assess the state of consciousness that accompanies recognition.For each item classified as

357

“old” on a recognition test, participants are asked to indicate whether their memory is vivid and rich in

358

contextual detail (“Remember”): whether the item was written in color, as well as whether upper- or lowercase

359

was used, whether they can describe the experimenter’s voice, whether the task was auditory,or whether the

360

participant classified it as “old” based on a non-specific sense of familiarity rather than a vivid memory

361

(“Know”) (Gardiner, 1988; Gardiner and Java, 1993; Yonelinas, 2002, see Migo et al., 2012 for a review). If the

362

participant seems to have trouble making a decision, he or she may be questioned regarding thedegree of

363

certainty (for review, see Gardiner et al., 2002). Another approach involves analyzing confidence judgments

364

with the Receiving Operator Characteristics (ROC) method (Yonelinas, 2001). During the recognition task,

365

participants must judge whether they have a high or low degree of confidence that theysawa given item during

366

the encoding task, or if they think the item was not previously presented.

367

In their review focusing on the brain networks underlying episodic memory retrieval, Rugg and Vilberg

368

(2013) stated that the recollection of information isassociated with the engagement of a neural network that is

369

centered on the MTL and includes the hippocampus, parahippocampus, and perirhinal cortices. Together, they

370

are interconnected with cortical regions (e.g., theretrosplenial and posterior cingulate cortex, the angular gyrus,

371

and the medial and lateral prefrontal cortex; mPFC)to retrieve past events(Figure 2).

3/ Behavioral data and models clarifying the memory decline performance in normal aging

378

EM performance gradually deteriorates from middle age through young-old age to old-old age (Nyberg

379

et al., 2003).With aging, many aspects of information processing become less efficient, and both episodic

380

encoding and retrieval processes are impaired (e.g. Anderson et al., 2005; Giffard et al., 2001;Gutchess et al.,

381

2007; Morcom, 2003). Older individuals suffer from difficulties in retrievingthe encoding context and stored

382

information in a rich and detailed way; exhibit increases in the number of false recognitions; show decreases in

383

inhibition capacities that may be explained by problems with the self-initiated development of encoding

384

strategies(e.g., Bastin and Van der Linden, 2005; Fernandes and Manios, 2012).

385

The quality of the sensory information presented to the cognitive system (Craik and Rose, 2012) and the

386

duration it remains available for processing (Walsh and Thompson, 1978) can affect the encoding of memory in

387

older adults. EM is traditionally assessed using verbal memory tasks. The age-relateddecline in itsencoding was

388

supported by Park et al. (1989), who asked young and older adults to categorize words while performing a

389

number-monitoring task during encoding, retrieval or both. The authors found that the performances of older

390

adults were more highly impaired when their attention was divided during episodic encoding,whereas their

391

performance on retrieval tasks was similar to that of the young participants.Moreover, an insufficiently precise

392

and distinctive encoding can lead to false recognitions (e.g. Dennis et al., 2007b; Murphy et al., 2007; Rosa and

393

Gutchess, 2013), which arise mainly when new items presented during retrieval are closely related to those

394

encountered during encoding (e.g. Kensinger and Schacter, 1999; Koutstaal and Schacter, 1997).Recognition

395

tests that include semantic distractors (e.g. “dahlia” or “petunia” for the flowers category) yield more false

396

recognitions in the elderly than among young subjects. This suggests that general-level encoding allows the

397

elderly to reject semantically unrelated distractors (e.g. “camel”), whereas the correct discrimination of

398

semantically related items requires more elaborate encoding. In their meta-analysis, Spencer and Raz (1995)

399

reported that age had a differential effect on recall performances depending on the type of encoding (incidental

400

or intentional). Taconnat and Isingrini (2004) manipulated the conditions of encoding using the production

401

paradigm, which holds that memory is substantially benefited byproducing/generating the second word of a

402

word pair as opposed to just reading it. Young subjects were found tobenefit from both semantic and

403

phonological cues, while older subjects benefited from the production of the item only when there was a

404

semantic relationship between the item and the clue. This suggests that memory in the elderlycan benefit from

405

deep or semantic processing at encoding, but only when the conditions of encoding strongly guide the desired

406

operations. Finally, age-related deficits during encoding may also depend on the utilized stimuli. For example,

407

scene encoding tends to differ little with age because, unlike the recognition of words, that of non-verbal

408

material(e.g. pictures) is largely age-invariant (e.g.,Craik and Jennings, 1992; Gutchess et al., 2005; Park et al.,

409

1986).Individuals tend to better remember rich and meaningful stimuli (such as pictures) because such stimuli

410

automatically engage multiple representations and associations with other information about the world, leading

411

to more elaborate encodings (e.g., Craik and Rose, 2012).One possible explanation for the effects of normal

412

aging on EM results is the acquisition of a deficit in the strategic processes involved in encoding (Shing et al.,

413

2010). Indeed, the lower performance of the elderly on memory tests has been attributed to a lack of self-

414

initiated processes (Craik, 1990; Kausler, 1994; Sauzéon et al., 2000), whichleads to difficulties in implementing

415

the spontaneous cognitive operations required for optimal memory (Craik, 1986). Indeed, when verbal encoding

416

is incident or superficial,or where no task is requested, the elderly spontaneously engage in less effective

417

strategies. The task does not directly guide the subjects in establishing an encoding strategy; they must initiate it

12

418

by themselves, and their chosen strategy typically does not increase their memory performance (Guillaume,

419

2009; Taconnat and Isingrini, 2004; Van der Veen et al., 2006). For instance, Dunlosky and Hertzog (2001)

420

found that when subjects were given the freedom to choose a strategy from among four possibilities in order to

421

encode pairs of words, young subjects used more mental imagery and sub-vocal rehearsal strategies, whereas

422

older subjects tended to generate sentences with the two words or use no strategy at all. The authors proposed

423

thatthe performance decreases of middle ageseem to reflect a failure to initiate elaborate procedures rather than a

424

deficit in the encoding processes per se. After 60 years of age, encoding becomes less effective even in the

425

presence of aids and clues, and the mechanisms for developing and allocating attention are insufficient.When

426

environmental support is high, however, such individuals can process the information deeply. For example,

427

when old adults make a mental image, use a word in a sentence, or give a synonym during the encoding of a

428

word (Craik and Jennings, 1992), the memory trace is strong and durable; thisyields better test performance and

429

less performance difference between young and elderly participants (e.g.,Dunlosky et al., 2005; Froger et al.,

430

2009; Kalpouzos et al., 2009; Logan et al., 2002; Taconnat et al., 2008) regardless of the time spent studying the

431

items. In other words, a deep and semantic encoding, even performed over a relatively shortperiod, is more

432

effective than a superficial treatment made over a longer period (Craik and Tulving, 1975). The two factors of

433

“self-initiated processing” and “environmental support” are complementary, with less environmental support

434

meaning that more self-initiated processing must be deployed and vice versa.

435

Age-related memory deficits are also present during retrieval, and elderly people routinely forget things.

436

The interference theory (Dewar et al., 2007) suggests that such forgetfulnessreflects the similarities between

437

memorized materials, in that memory can be disrupted by what we have previously learned (old memories

438

interfere with the retention of new learning) or by what we will learn in the future (new learning interferes with

439

the retention of old memories). For example, it can be difficult to remember how to use an old phone when

440

learning to use a new one; this is an example of a competitive response leading to lower memory performance

441

(Blank, 2005; see also Fandakova et al., 2013).In the elderly, the degreeof the memory deficit varies depending

442

on the task:age-related differences are more pronounced in free recall tasks that require the subject to

443

spontaneously retrieve a previous episode without any external help, compared to cued recall or recognition

444

tasks, in which an index is provided to facilitate the mental research of the stimulus. The performances of older

445

subjects are inferior to those of young subjects during free recall, whereas the age groups are often equivalent

446

intheir recognition abilities(Craik and McDowd, 1987; Isingrini et al., 1996; Sauzéon et al., 2014; Taconnat et

447

al., 2009). These patterns of performance could be explained by insufficient encoding, in that the memory trace

448

is too weak to be reactivated during free recall but is sufficient for recognition. Old people have more difficulties

449

in spontaneously generating cues to retrieve information in memory (Dunlosky et al., 2005; Sauzéon et al.,

450

2001;), but they exhibit normal benefits from receiving semantic cues during such retrieval (e.g., Monti et al.,

451

1996).Work using the R/Kparadigm (Guillaume, 2009; Rajaram, 1993; Richardson-Klavehn et al., 1996) has

452

indicated that the elderly can have difficulty accessing the contextof learning (Bugaiska et al., 2007; Clarys et

453

al., 2002; Jacoby, 1991; Jennings and Jacoby, 1997; Prull et al., 2006). The ability to control the source of

454

information decreases with age, making subjects particularly vulnerable to false memories (Dodson and

455

Schacter, 2002; Johnson et al., 1993; Lövden, 2003). For example, Jacoby and Rhodes (2006) found that the

456

elderly were more likely to accept false information as true, compared to young adults. In addition, older

457

individuals had a greater sense of confidence in their misjudgmentscompared to young subjects (Dodson et al.,

458

2007). The proportion of Remember responses (R), which reflect the recovery of every contextual detail,

459

declines with aging, whereas the proportion of Know responses (K), which are associated with a sense of

13

460

familiarity, remains stable or increases slightly (e.g. Clarys et al., 2009).Older adults would therefore tend to

461

develop recovery processes based primarily on familiarity,but might struggle to identify the source of this

462

familiarity using contextual elements. In other words, age affects the quality and richness of the information

463

retrieved from memory. Fewer details are recalled and episodes are relived less frequently. This notion has been

464

reinforced by the observation of lower performance in the elderly on memory source tasks, compared to younger

465

subjects (Mitchell et al., 2003; Spencer and Raz, 1994).

466

In addition to strategic deficits, attention and processing speed may be critical components of the age-

467

related decline in EM function (see Park and McDonough, 2013). Craik (1986) hypothesized that the amount of

468

attentional resources available to initiate and carry out cognitive processes could decrease with age (Craik and

469

Jenning, 1992). The attentional demands of both encoding and retrieval are greater for older adults than for

470

young adults, although this age difference is most pronounced for retrieval (Craik and McDowd, 1987; Whiting

471

and Smith, 1997). Older subjects are less able to spontaneously develop the most effective encoding and retrieval

472

operations, because such operations are very expensive in terms of attention (Anderson et al., 1998). However,

473

other studies showed that the presence of a sufficiently large environmental context at the time of encoding (e.g.,

474

a semantic task) and/or retrieval (e.g., a clue) could minimize the need for a costly self-initiated treatment in

475

attention and reduce the memory impairment associated with age (Craik, 1986; Craik and Byrd, 1982).

476

The theory of cognitive slowdown proposes that changes in the processing speed significantly

477

contribute to age-related cognitive performance declines, leading to less effective encoding and increasing the

478

time required to retrieve stored information (Bunce and Macready, 2005; Clarys et al., 2002; Hertzog et al.,2003;

479

Perrotin et al., 2006; Salthouse, 1996).Indeed, when comparing elderly and young groups in recognition-based

480

retrieval, Daselaar et al. (2003) showed increased reaction times in the latter group, indicating that there is likely

481

to be an age-related slowing of motor responses. This model is based on the consistent observation that

482

processing speed shows a linear decrease during early adulthood, and that this decrease may accelerate in late

483

old age (Feyereisen & Van der Linden, 1997; Salthouse, 1993a, 1993b). Two distinct mechanisms appear to be

484

responsible for the relationship between processing speed and cognition:1) cognitive operations are performed

485

too slowly to be achieved in a limited time, and less cognitive processing is generally associated with a lower

486

level of performance; and 2) the slowdown reduces the amount of available information, which isneeded for the

487

execution of higher-level cognition.In the elderly, this slowdown primarily affects the encoding operations,

488

resulting in the creation of fragile memory representations.

489

It has also been established that normal aging is accompanied by a decrease in an individual’s capacity

490

to inhibit the acquisition of irrelevant information on the verbal, motor, attentionalandmnesic levels (Connely et

491

al., 1991; Potter and Grealy, 2006; Spieler et al., 1996).The inhibitory capacity can be defined as the set of

492

sequential processesimplemented to prevent the emergence of an automatic or context-induced response, or

493

(conversely) to prevent irrelevant information from entering theattentional field. However, the performance of

494

the elderly can reportedly becomparable to that observed in young subjects,indicating that not all aspects of

495

inhibitory function undergo age-related alterations. For example,Jennings and Jacoby (1993) demonstrated that

496

some age-related memory differences are due to declines in controlled (but not automatic) information

497

processing for verbal (Healy et al., 2005) or non-verbal (Zelazo et al., 2004)materials (see also Hasher and

498

Zacks, 1979;Jacoby et al., 2001; Yonelinas, 2002). Indeed, the concept of controlled retrieval implies that there

499

is an intentional effort to initiate research in memory and consciously control and mobilize attention throughout

500

the task, all of which are costly processes.

paradigm, the environment and the strategies used by the person.Nevertheless, a change in the organization of

504

the neural networks underlying EM can also be responsible for the difference seen between young and older

505

adults.

506

4/ Chemical and anatomical data: role of brain imaging study in healthy elderly

507

The age-related decline in EM seems to reflect the depletion of neurotransmitters as well as age-related

508

degradation of the brain’s anatomy and physiology (Coleman and Flood, 1987; for review, see Grady, 2012).

509

Recently, the advent of non-invasive neuroimaging methods (e.g., fMRI and PET) has enabled researchers to

510

examine normal memory processes in the healthy brain (Spaniol, 2009), yielding a better understanding of the

511

links between cognitive skills and neural substrates. The earliest cognitive and neuroanatomical information

512

about EM originated from the study of patients suffering from amnesic syndrome or frontal lesions (Squire,

513

1992). Indeed, if these patients do not have real amnesic syndromes, they experience similar difficulties than

514

older subjects. Older adults, as brain-frontal subjects, exhibit more intense deficits in memory tasks that require a

515

significant contribution by controlled processes, such as free recall.

516

Investigations using non-human primates and neuropsychological approaches have revealed activation

517

patterns that indicate the existence of a relatively wide neuronal network underlying EM (Andreasen et al., 1995;

518

Cabeza et al.,1997; Cabeza and Nyberg, 2000; Desgranges et al., 1998; Nyberg et al., 1996a; Nyberg et al.,

519

1996b; Rugg and Vilberg, 2013; Shimamura, 2014). It mostly comprises the PFC, the MTL and particularly the

520

hippocampus but also the parietal cortex.Neurofunctional changes in these regions also seem to be correlated

521

with age-related memory declines and learning difficulties (Head et al., 2009; Raz, 2000; Raz et al., 2005;

522

Yonelinas et al., 2007). For example, Rajah and colleagues (2011) found that age-related reductions in the

523

volume of the medial frontal gyrus were negatively correlated with retrieval activity in the same regions during

524

an EM task.

525

4.1/ Depletion of neurotransmitters

526

With respect to disorders of neurotransmission associated with cerebral aging, converging arguments

527

indicate that dopamine deficiency is the main neurobiological determinant of the aging brain. DA function has

528

traditionally been linked to motor performance (Freed and Yamamoto, 1985) and reward-related processes

529

(Baudonnat et al., 2013; Schultz, 2006; Wise, 2004). Authors demonstrated that DA is truly a learning signal

530

(Schultz, 1998) and is invoved in learning of a stimulus-reward association (Waelti et al., 2001). This

531

neurotransmitter codes for incentive salience, the neural process that generates the desire and motivates an

532

individual to act in order to get the reward (Berridge and Robinson, 1998). For example, mice deprived of DA

533

are still sensitive to rewards but fail to motivate their behavior. In monkeys, DA amplitude discharges better

534

correlate with the level of motivation than with the size of the reward (Satoh et al., 2003).More recently, DA has

535

been associated with higher cognitive abilities, such as attention and memory processes (Starter and Bruno,

536

2004), in patient populations with severe damage to the DA system, such as those afflicted with Parkinson

537

Disease and Huntington Disease (Brown and Marsden, 1988), as well as in lesion studies in monkeys (Goldman-

538

Rakic, 1998), and pharmacological studies using DA agonists in younger volunteers (Luciana et al., 1998).

15

539

Functional neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that interaction between reward-related regions

540

(orbitofrontal, ventral tegmental areas, striatum, PFC or substantia nigra) and memory-related regions including

541

the MTL structures, could contribute to the memory enhancement by reward motivation (e.g., Tsukiura and

542

Cabeza, 2008; Wittmann et al., 2011; Wolosin et al., 2012). Some studies have shown that reward improves

543

memory formation in incidental and intentional encoding paradigms (Wittmann et al. 2005; Adcock et al. 2006;

544

Callan and Schweighofer 2008; Wittmann et al. 2008). Others demonstrated that higher-value (i.e. high

545

monetary reward) items are remembered better than low-value items (i.e. low monetary reward) (e.g. Adcock et

546

al., 2006; Wittmann et al., 2005; Shigemune et al., 2010). Nevertheless, Madan and Specth (2012) recently

547

reported that memory is enhanced not only due to reward value but also to reward salience (highest and lowest

548

value items are remembered best and intermediate-value items are remembered worst). Reward has also been

549

demonstrated to abolish the so-called « Retieval-Induced Forgetting » (Imai et al., 2014), a memory phneomenon

550

where remembering causes forgetting of other information in memory. It is believed to prevents us from

551

becoming confused between information we’ve made an effort to learn and closely related information we didn’t

552

strive to learn. Reward overall enhanced memorized items and abolished the suppression of the retrieval of non-

553

learned items. However, a depletion of DA can have a consequence on the « reward –effect ». Lesion of some

554

dopaminergic pathways (e.g. nigrostriatal pathway), as well as pharmacological blockade of DA receptors,

555

makes the animals insensitive to rewarding effects, result in a lack of interest for environmental stimuli and a

556

decrease in exploratory behavior (Di Chiara, 2002; Wise, 2008). The duration of reward was reduced by

557

dopaminergic antagonists (Yokel and Wise, 1975; 1976). DA depletion has also been linked with reward theory

558

in healthy aging. Indeed, Dreher and colleagues (2008) demonstrated that the coupling of midbain DA synthesis

559

and reward-related PFC activity was altered in older adults. DA reward reponse appears to code the discrepency

560

between the reward and its prediction. This « prediction-error » seems to be altered in older adult, resulting in an

561

abnormal signature of expected value and then an incomplete reward prediction error signal. Chowdhurry and

562

her colleagues (2013) found that this abnormal reward procesing in aging can be restores with DA (see also

563

Eppinger et al., 2011). Healthy aging has also been show to induce functional altertions in the reward system

564

Wong et al. (1997) found a decrease in the number of dopaminergic receptors with age. In vivo studies

565

using PET found smaller (but reliable) age-related declines in the human striatum, responsible for a large

566

proportion of DA production. This area has extensive connections to the PFC (Graybiel, 2000)and might

567

therefore affect the cognitive processes that are sub-served by DA-dependent circuits (Hedden and Gabrieli,

568

2004). Post-mortem evidence indicates that age induces substantial losses in both pre- and postsynaptic markers

569

of the DA system (Fearnly and Lees, 1991). Likewise, PET findings demonstrate marked age-related decreases

570

in DA function for presynaptic markers, such as L-DOPA utilization and DA transporter density (VanDyck et

571

al., 1995; Volkow et al. 1996) as well as for postsynaptic markers, such as D1 and D2 receptor binding. Age-

572

related decreases in performance were significantly correlated with D2 receptor availability and binding

573

(Bäckman et al., 2000; Erixon-Lindroth et al., 2005). Furthermore, intermittent stimulation of dopamine D1

574

receptor systems was shown to improve delayed response performance for older monkeys while having a small

575

detrimental effect for young monkeys. These beneficial effects remained in effect at 1 year following

576

stimulation. Dopamine stimulation might thus specifically benefit populations with deficiencies (older adults)

577

and could provide the basis for treating even normal age-related declines (Castner and Goldman-Rakic, 2004). In

578

a pharmacological fMRI study, Morcom et al. (2010) showed that elderly subjects with worse recognition

579

performance scores on EM tasks were more sensitive to dopaminergic modulation induced by bromocriptine (a

580

D2-like receptor agonist) or sulpiride (a D2-like receptor antagonist), as reflected by activity in the left MTL

16

581

during efficient EM encoding. Age-related losses of DA have also been observed in non-striatal structures,

582

including the frontal, temporal and occipital cortices, as well as the hippocampus and thalamus (Inoue et al.,

583

2001; Kaasinen et al., 2000).

584

Acetylcholine is another neurotransmitter that plays an important role in memory (Deutsch, 1971; Gold,

585

2003; Hasselmo, 1999; 2006). The two main subtypes of cholinergic receptors, nicotinic and muscarinic, are

586

both sensitive to the effects of age (Giacobini, 1990; Nordberg et al., 1992), and cholinergic deficiency has been

587

suggested to explain at least part of the age-related declines in memory performance (Gallagher and Colombo,

588

1995; Taylor and Griffith, 1993). Memory performance decreases comparable to those observed in elderly

589

subjects were demonstrated in young subjects after scopolamine-induced blockade of muscarinic receptors

590

(Jones et al., 1991), but it is not yet known whether a cholinergic deficit can affect memory directly, or indirectly

591

alter it by disturbing attention (Blokland, 1995; Everitt and Robbins, 1997; Hasselmo and Bower, 1993; Voytko,

592

1996). In a resting-state fMRI study, Wink et al. (2006) found that the administration of scopolamine to young

593

healthy subjects mimicked the dynamics of hippocampal activity observed in placebo-treated elderly subjects,

594

suggesting that a cholinergic mechanism may underlie the age-related changes in EM.

595

4.2/ Prefrontal cortex

596

The results from brain imaging and behavioral studies on age-related morphological brain changes

597

converge to suggest the presence of critical alterations in the PFC brain region, which is associated with

598

executive functions (West, 1996; Kalpouzos et al., 2009). This supports the frontal hypothesis, which holds that

599

executive functions are the first cognitive functions to decline during aging, leading to the strongest and earliest

600

age-related changes in the cognitive skills that depend on such functions (Taconnat et al., 2007). With respect to

601

memory, declines in executive function impair strategic, controlled processing at the levels of encoding and

602

retrieval. Memory profiling of frontal brain-damaged patients and neuroimaging studies have shown that there is

603

a close link between memory (especially EM) and frontal activity (Cabeza, 2002). The frontal lobes play key

604

roles in acquiring and encoding information, retrieving information in the absence of contextual cues, recalling

605

the source of information, and assessing the temporal sequence and recency of events. Relevant functional

606

dissociations have been found within the frontal cortex (e.g.,Blumenfeld and Ranganath, 2006, 2007; Rypma and

607

D’Esposito, 2003); the ventrolateral region contributes to selecting appropriate information, while the

608

dorsolateral area organizes the information in working memory. These two regions thus play complementary

609

roles leading to the formation of EM.

610

4.3/ From HERA to HAROLD: the compensation models

611

Kapur et al. (1994) used PET to study EM in 12 healthy volunteers and observed important activations

612

of the left inferior PFC (Brodmann areas 45, 46, 47 and 10) during an encoding task and the right dorsolateral

613

frontal cortex (Brodmann areas 10, 46, 9) during a recall task. This asymmetry led scientists to propose the

614

HERA (Hemispheric Encoding/Retrieval Asymmetry) model (Tulving, 1994), which holds that the left frontal

615

cortex is preferentially involved in episodic encoding, whereas the right frontal cortex is preferentially involved

616

in episodic retrieval. Others studies also found unilateral activity in young adults (e.g., Cabeza et al., 2004; Davis

617

et al., 2012; de Chastelaine et al., 2011; Reuter-Lorenz et al., 2000; Schneider-Garces et al., 2010; for reviews,

618

see Cabeza and Nyberg, 2000; Fletcher and Henson, 2001). Regions in the left PFC are consistently activated

17

619

during the encoding of non-verbal material (e.g., object localization, Ownen et al., 1996; unknown faces, Grady

620

et al., 1995). Conversely, right PFC activation is seen during the retrieval of episodic information (Morcom et

621

al., 2003), as extensively demonstrated with paradigms using free recall, cued recall, or recognition of diverse

622

stimuli, such as sentences, drawings of objects, words, faces, smells, melodies, and colored geometric patterns

623

(e.g., Nyberg et al., 1996; Bernard et al., 2001; Platel et al., 2003). Notably, however, some authors have failed

624

to confirm these results and found bilateral recruitment of the PFC (e.g., Kelley et al., 1998; Spaniol, 2009). It

625

was suggestedthat the PFC is bilaterally recruited when a task requires increased cognitive resources (Cairo et

626

al., 2004; Nolde et al., 1998), thereby showing a pattern similar to that observed in older adults during the

627

performance of simpler tasks. In 1998, Nyberg proposed that parts of the right PFC should be distinguished into

628

the right anterior PFC, which is involved in all memory tasks, and the right posterior PFC, which is involved in

629

the more difficult retrieval operations. Together, these findings suggest that the HERA model is modulated by

630

the nature of the material (Fliessbach et al., 2006; Golby et al., 2001; McDermott et al., 1999; Wagner et al.,

631

1998), the complexity of the task (Nolde et al., 1998) and the involved memory process (e.g., Iidaka et al., 2000;

632

Nyberg et al., 2000).

633

Given the imaging studies showing the consistent involvement of PFC regions in memory among

634

younger adults and their central role in cognitive aging, it is of critical interest to study PFC activity in the

635

elderly. The structural and behavioral data discussed above suggest that one might expect neural activity to

636

decline with age (e.g., Logan et al., 2002; for review, see Park and Gutchess, 2004), consistent with the declines

637

in cognitive function and brain structure. Quite surprisingly, numerous neuroimaging studies of EM have shown

638

that the functional brain activity in the PFC increases with age across a range of tasks, with increases in right

639

frontal areas and reductions in left frontal activity during encoding(e.g., Anderson et al., 2000; Cabeza, 1997;

640

Grady et al., 1995; 2002; Leshikar et al., 2010; Morcom, 2003; Nyberg, 1996a, 1996b; Rosen et al., 2002; for

641

review, see Dennis & Cabeza, 2008) and vice versa during EM retrieval. This bilateral pattern of PFC activity in

642

the elderly reduces their hemispheric asymmetry, as reflected in the HAROLD model (Hemispheric Asymmetry

643

Reduction in OLDer Adults) proposed by Cabeza (2002). Additional prefrontal recruitment is tought to be a

644

general characteristic of age-related neural change (Cabeza et al., 2004; Davis et al., 2008; for review, see

645

Spreng et al., 2010). This lack of asymmetry is observed in a wide range of tasks, including word recall after

646

incidental learning (Logan et al., 2002; Stebbins et al., 2002), intentional learning (Logan et al., 2002), delayed

647

recall (Morcom et al. 2003), and memory retrieval (Bäckman et al., 1997; Hatta et al., 2015). But in the field of

648

pictorial stimuli in young subjects, older adults cannot engage bilateral regions as predicted by the HAROLD

649

model as both hemispheres are already activated in young adults (Golby et al., 2001; Kelley et al., 1998).

650

Gutchess et al. (2005) hypothesized that older adults would show increased prefrontal activations in regions not

651

activated by young adults. While both young and older adults showed bilateral activations of the inferior frontal

652

gyri during the successful encoding of pictures of outdoor scenes, the older adults showed more activation of

653

several other frontal regions (including the left middle frontal gyrus) compared to younger subjects.

654

Two interpretations have been proposed to account for the HAROLD phenomenon in aging. In the

655

absence of memory decline in elderly people, a more widespread activation pattern is interpreted as reflecting

656

either: 1) difficulty in engaging specialized neural mechanisms, which is a phenomenon called

657

“dedifferentiation” (e.g., Li and Lindenberger, 1999; Logan et al., 2002); and/or 2) an optimized cognitive

658

mechanism (i.e., the use of a cognitive strategy different from that of younger adults) to deal with the executivo-

659

frontal dysfunction that accompanies normal aging (Reuter-Lorenz and Lustig, 2005; Stern et al., 2009; for

660

review, see Cabeza, 2004). The latter compensation phenomenon suggests that older individuals engage both

18

661

hemispheres in some tasks that require only one hemisphere in young subjects; this compensates for cognitive

662

deficits, and is thus positively correlated with successful cognitive performance (Reuter-Lorenz et al., 2000; Park

663

et al., 2003). Concerning encoding, the age-related shift from left lateralized processing to a more distributed

664

pattern corresponds not only to encoding attempt, but mostly ultimate success. Indeed, activating a second

665

hemisphere would increase the resources that the elderly have available (Ska, 2006) to generate the same

666

functional result as their younger peers (Cabeza et al., 2002, 2004). This additional frontal recruitment allows

667

older adults to maintain a good level of accuracy at the expense of a slower reaction time (Grady et al., 1994; but

668

also see Reuter-Lorenz et al., 2000). Some studies have suggested that age-related over-recruitment is observed

669

in only a few PFC regions, such as the bilateral medial and superior frontal gyri (Gutchess et al., 2005), and in

670

the bilateral anterior superior frontal gyri (Morcom et al., 2003). In contrast, bilateral activation of the PFC in

671

older adults is not always related to better performance. In a recent review (2012), Grady reported that some

672

authors found greater recruitment in the PFC during memory encoding (de Chastelaine et al., 2011) and retrieval

673

(Persson et al., 2011) in elderly participants, but this was correlated with poorer memory. Similar results were

674

obtained during word recognition (Madden et al., 1999), facial recognition (Grady et al., 2002), and spatial tasks

675

(Piefke et al. 2012; Meulenbroek et al., 2010).

676

In a PET study, Bernard et al. (2007) tested young and elderly subjects in a cued recall task. The

677

activation of the right PFC was similar in the two groups, but there was a significant between-group difference at

678

a behavioral level, with the older subjects showing lower-level performance. This apparent paradox was solved

679

by taking into account the results of a previous study in which two groups of older subjects were scanned while

680

performing episodic retrieval of verbal material: a group of “low-performers” with significantly lower episodic

681

retrieval performances compared to young healthy subjects; and a group of “high-performers” with

682

performances comparable to those of young subjects (Cabeza et al., 2002). Similar to the young participants, the

683

low performers showed activation of only the right PFC. In contrast, the elderly high-performers showed

684

activation of both the right and left PFC, suggesting that their brains were working harder and engaging in a

685

more distributed compensatory process. According to Park (2009), the additional activation of the contralateral

686

hemisphere reflects the inefficient operation of inhibitory mechanisms. Overall, these results suggest that there is

687

a three-way interaction among age, task difficulty, and fontal laterality.

688

A variety of theoretical models have been proposed to explain age-related over-recruitment (e.g.,

689

Cabeza and Dennis, 2013; Davis et al., 2008; Maillet and Rajah, 2013). The age-related decreases in brain

690

structure size and white matter integrity concomitant with increases in prefrontal activation prompted the

691

development of the Scaffolding Theory of Aging and Cognition (STAC; Park and Reuter-Lorenz, 2009), which

692

describes the brain’s response to cognitive challenge. This model posits that despite neural challenges and age-

693

related worsening, behavior is maintained at a relatively high level by the recruitment of additional circuitry.

694

With age, this compensatory scaffolding process may be invoked to perform familiar tasks and basic cognitive

695

operations, which become increasingly challenging as the existing neural circuitry degrades. In addition, the

696

over-recruitment of the PFC may reflect an attempt to compensate for age-related declines in other brain regions

697

(Cabeza et al., 2004; Gutchess et al., 2005; Goh et al., 2010). For example, the PASA model (Posterior-Anterior

698

Shift in Aging) (for review, see Davis et al., 2008) suggests that a decrease in posterior cortical activations (i.e.,

699

that of the occipito-temporal cortex) in older adults is accompanied by an increase in anterior activity,

700

particularly frontal. Some recent work suggests that PASA patterns may be particularly prevalent under more

701

taxing cognitive demands (Ansado et al., 2012), but the recruitment of additional brain regions might come with

702

a cost (Bäckman & Dixon, 1992; Cabeza, 2002; Reuter-Lorenz et al., 2008). For example, the recruitment of

19

703

contralateral hemispheres may reduce the brain’s ability to perform simultaneous tasks. Given that older brains

704

engage more neural circuitry at lower levels of task demand compared to younger brains, seniors rely more

705

heavily on their CR and are more likely to reach a limit on the resources that can be brought to bear on task

706

performance. Reuter-Lorenz and Cappell (2008) referred to this as CRUNCH (Compensation-Related Utilization

707

of Neural Circuits Hypothesis).

708

In applying the PFC function theory to cognitive aging, the work of West (1996) supported the

709

hypothesis that cognitive processes supported by the PFC are among the first to decline with increasing age.

710

However, differences were also observed on tasks that are traditionally considered to be “non-frontal” (e.g., item

711

recall and recognition), leading West to conclude that: “this age related decline in item recall and recognition

712

suggests that the frontal lobe hypothesis of aging provides a useful but incomplete neuropsychological model of

713

cognitive aging.” Some investigators have pointed out that the performance of memory tasks involves the

714

coordination of multiple neural systems beyond the prefrontal cortex. Indeed, the frontal hypothesis (which is

715

admittedly somewhat simplistic) should not obscure the roles of other brain structures (e.g., the parietal cortex),

716

especially when the real memory difficulties among older subjects could be better explained by MTL

717

dysfunction.

718

4.4/ Aging in the PFC: link with behavioral data

719

The HAROLDfinding was more prevalent in intentional versus incidental encoding studies, suggesting

720

that the environmental support provided by a deep encoding task may attenuate the age-related decreases in left

721

PFC activity (Daselaar et al., 2003; Dennis and Cabeza, 2008; Kapur et al., 1996; Logan et al., 2002; Morcom et

722

al., 2003). Nevertheless, a PET study by Bernard et al. (2001) showed that the intentional encoding of words

723

bilaterally activated the PFC, with a larger activation noted in the left hemisphere. Similarly, deep processing of

724

pictures triggered increased activity in the left PFC and bilateral medial temporal regions (Grady et al., 1999).

725

Deeper processing (e.g., semantic judgment tasks) was also shown to activate the inferior PFC and left

726

dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC) more strongly than a more shallow treatment (Demb et al., 1995; Fujii et al., 2002;

727

Iidaka et al., 2000; Otten et al., 2001; for review, see Galli, 2014). In an associative encoding task, older adults

728

showed a typical pattern of increased activity in the right inferior frontal region, the left inferior frontal gyrus,

729

and the left hippocampus as the task difficulty increased (Leshikar et al., 2010). Furthermore, activity in these

730

regions has been found to predict subsequent memory performance (Wagner et al., 1998; for review, see Park et

731

al., 2013). In young adults, activity in the PFC was found to predict the formation of successful memory (Brewer

732

et al., 1998; Kirchhoff et al., 2000), while a subsequent memory task showed that increased frontal activation in

733

older adults was associated with remembered items, but not with forgotten items (Gutchess et al., 2005).

734

Mitchell et al. (2004) also observed that young adults showed activation in the left

735

judgments, whereas older adults did not. The authors posited that the source memory deficits seen in older adults

736

might be related (at least in part) to reductions in the function of the left PFC region that is engaged by young

737

adults. Thus, the left PFC appears to be specifically involved in more complex memory tasks or those that

738

require encoding strategies (Fletcher and Henson, 2001). Patients with left frontal lesions present specific

739

deficits when the task requires semantic strategies during encoding (e.g., Incisa della Rocchetta and Milner,

740

1993), whereas their performances returned to normal when they were provided with semantic clues or

741

instructions on the use of specific strategies (Gershberg and Shimamura, 1995). Thus, one important function of

742

the PFC in memory is to focus behavior towards the development of a strategy aimed at optimizing memory

DL

PFC during source

20

743

performance. Specifically, the encoding-related activity in the ventrolateral PFC (VLPFC) is believed to reflect

744

the selection, maintenance, and control of incoming information (Blumenfeld et al., 2011), whereas activity in

745

the

746

Ranganath, 2007; Daselaar et al., 2006; Paller and Wagner, 2002; Simons and Spiers, 2003). Other studies have

747

emphasized the content-specific aspects of prefrontal function, with left-lateralized ventrolateral activity

748

appearing to be associated with verbal material and right-lateralized activity with visual material (Wagner et al.,

749

1998).

DL

PFC is thought to support organization and associative encoding (for reviews, see Blumenfeld and

750

Lepage et al. (2000) identified a set of regions associated with the “retrieval mode” (REMO) in EM.

751

The activation of the REMO sites is described as governing the subject’s neurocognitive state when the attention

752

is focused on a segment of the past; this state takes into account the relevant indices, inhibits the irrelevant

753

indices and supports effective access to the memory trace. The REMO sites include the anterior cingulate cortex

754

and various frontal regions, and are preferentially lateralized to the right. Several studies found regions that were

755

similarly activated by recognition across age groups (Daselaar et al., 2003; Tisserand et al., 2005), leading

756

researchers to suggest that age effects are more pronounced for encoding than retrieval. However, age-

757

differences are still seen in the latter. Several studies found decreased activity in the right PFC in older adults

758

(e.g., Anderson et al., 2000; Cabeza et al., 1997; Bäckman et al., 1997); this frontal under-activation was greater

759

for source recall tasks than for recognition tasks, suggesting that reductions in right frontal activity might be

760

proportional to the difficulty of the task. Whereas the left

761

anterior PFC regions are more strongly involved in retrieval (Spaniol, 2009). Sub-regions of the PFC have been

762

implicated in various retrieval-related functions, including setting the retrieval mode, specifying retrieval cues,

763

and post-retrieval monitoring and verification (e.g., Burgess et al., 2007; Cabeza et al., 2003; Dobbins and Han,

764

2006; Moscovitch and Winocur, 2002; Rugg et al., 1998; Shallice, 2002; Simons and Spiers, 2003). The first two

765

aspects are more dependent on the

766

DL

767

in older subjects compared to young subjects. In addition, various frontal sub-regions have been demonstrated to

768

be differentially involved in recollection (R) and familiarity (F) (for review, see Skinner and Fernandes, 2007).

769

Both have been associated with right

770

the anterior frontal (related to source information) and superior frontal (related to attentional processes) regions.

771

In the future, it should be interesting to determine how the frontal lobe sub-regions contribute to different

772

processes related to R- and F-based responses.

773

VLPFC,

VLPFC

was more strongly involved in encoding,

whereas monitoring and verification are more dependent on the

PFC. Schacter et al. (1996) found that frontal activity during recall of word pairs was located more posteriorly

DLPFC

activity, while R is associated with additional bilateral activity in

4.5/ Medial temporal lobes

774

Following Scoville and Milner’s (1957) report on amnesic patient HM, human and animal lesion work

775

focused intensively on the role of the hippocampus and surrounding MTL in memory (for review, see Annese et

776

al., 2014; Rosenbaum et al., 2014). Vargha-Khadem et al. (1997; 2001) noted that severe EM disorders were

777

associated with congenital bi-hippocampal lesions. This structure operates by forming associations among the

778

sensory, cognitive and emotional processes that make up an episode in memory (Eichenbaum, 1996; see also

779

Hannula et al., 2006; Holdstock et al., 2005). The MTL has been the subject of much research in this area, both

780

because it plays a key role in EM function (for reviews, see Cabeza and Nyberg, 2000; Desgranges et al., 1998)

781

and because it is usually the first structure targeted by AD lesions (for review, see Dickerson and Eichenbaum,

782

2010). This structure seems to be involved in novelty detection (e.g., Dolan and Fletcher, 1997), and in encoding

21

783

and conscious retrieval of information (Wheeler et al., 2004). Notably, more severe age-related declines have

784

been associated with decreased activity in the MTL during encoding (Daselaar, 2003; Spaniol, 2009; Tisserand

785

et al., 2005).

786

The left-sided activation of the temporal and cingulate areas in encodingtasks reflects an asymmetrical

787

activation that fits the HERA model, but also seems to depend on the material in question (Desgranges et al.,

788

1998). For example, MTL is bilaterally activated during the encoding of digitized topographic information

789

(Aguirre et al., 1996), and the intentional encoding of complex images (Stern et al., 1996), while right

790

hippocampal activation was observed during face learning (Grady et al. 1995). Indeed, the results for this

791

structure are divergent. Some studies have found atrophy of the hippocampal region (Tisserand et al., 2004), and

792

less activity during memory encoding (Spreng et al. 2010) and retrieval in the elderly compared to young healthy

793

subjects (Dennis et al., 2007; Gutchess et al., 2005; Morcom et al., 2003; St Jacques et al., 2009). Decreased

794

medial-temporal involvement among elderly subjects has been reported in a number of tasks, including the

795

encoding of faces (Grady et al., 1995), verbal materials (Daselaar et al., 2003) and natural scenes (Park et al.,

796

2003). Age-related under-recruitment is believed to contribute to the age-related deficits observed in EM

797

performance. For example, when Daselaar et al. (2003) divided older adults according to their performance, low

798

performers showed less hippocampal activity than high performers. Moreover, reduced MTL function is often

799

accompanied by increased activation in the frontal cortex (i.e., PASA). Other studies have shown a relative

800

preservation (Good et al., 2001 Miller et al., 2008; Persson et al., 2011; Sullivan et al., 2005) and left MTL

801

activation during encoding was shown to predict successful memory retrieval performance in both young and

802

older subjects (Bernard et al., 2007). The apparent discrepancies in such results may reflect the encoding process

803

used. For example, Grady et al. (1999) observed bilateral recruitment of MTL regions when they focused on

804

subsequent memory, whereas Spreng et al. (2010) studied episodic encodingand noted reduced activity in the

805

right MTL of older adults. Alternatively (or in addition), the age range of the selected subjects may explain the

806

between-study differences: for samples covering a wide age range, the results tend to favor the preservation of

807

the structure, whereas studies focusing on narrower age ranges, especially patients over 50 or 60 years, found

808

atrophy of the hippocampus (for review, see Barbeau, 2011).

809

Based on the finding that elderly adults typically benefit less than young adults from deep processing of

810

study items, age-related impairments in EM are believed to be related to deficiencies in semantic processing

811

during encoding. For example, Daselaar et al. (2003) used fMRI on groups of young and elderly adults,

812

comparing brain activity patterns obtained during deep (living/non-living) and shallow (uppercase/lowercase)

813

encoding tasks. Although other regions were commonly activated during both processes, older adults revealed

814

significantly less activation in the left anterior hippocampus during deep processing but not shallow processing

815

compared to the young. This suggested that deep processing activates the MTL in young subjects but not older

816

subjects, further suggesting that there may be an age-related dysfunction of the posterior portion of the

817

hippocampus (Kalpouzos et al., 2008).

818

The findings from PET studies converge to the observations made by Lepage et al. (1998), who stated

819

that episodic encoding is almost exclusively associated with the anterior caudal region of the MTL, particularly

820

the hippocampus, whereas more posterior rostral (though not necessarily hippocampal) MTL regions play a

821

stronger role in episodic retrieval. Thus, the hippocampus may not function exclusively in the encoding or

822

recalling of events. For both encoding and retrieval, neural activations are located preferentially in the left

823

hemisphere for verbal material and in the right or both hemispheres with non-verbal stimuli (Davachi, 2006).

824

This rostro-caudal gradient, which is referred to as the HIPER (HIPpocampal Encoding/Retrieval) model,

22

825

(Lepage et al., 1998) seems to hold for verbal and non-verbal materials, and largely for both hemispheres too,

826

especially during retrieval, when the activations produced by the two stimulus types are distributed more or less

827

evenly in both hemispheres. The situation is less clear for the encoding of verbal information, as researchers

828

noted an absence of associated activation in the right hippocampal region. Furthermore, some studies have failed

829

to support the distinction of an anterior-posterior gradient. For example, Greicius et al. (2003) found that the

830

middle and posterior parts of the hippocampus are associated with both the encoding and retrieval of episodic

831

information. Moreover, other studies contradicted that of Lepage by showing that: 1) the anterior part of the

832

MTL is more strongly involved in retrieval, whereas the posterior part is associated with encoding processes

833

(Gabrieli et al., 1997; Rombouts et al., 2001; Schacter & Wagner, 1999); and 2) encoding activations in PET are

834

observed frequently in both anterior and posterior MTL sites, with a less clearly defined tendency for a

835

rostrocaudal gradient. In light of these results, it is then important to determine why episodic encoding involves

836

both the anterior and posterior MTL, whereas episodic retrieval is mainly associated with the posterior region

837

(Madden et al., 1999). In general, age-related changes in MTL activity are consistent with the associative deficit

838

theory, which posits that age-related memory deficits primarily reflect difficulties in encoding and retrieving

839

novel associations between items (Chalfonte and Johnson, 1996; Naveh-Benjamin, 2000;). Given that relational

840

memory has been strongly associated with the hippocampus, this hypothesis predicts that older adults will show

841

decreased hippocampal activity during memory tasks, particularly tasks that involve associations.

842

Some authors have favored the idea that the medial temporal cortex mainly functions in the recall of

843

episodic information (Ekstrom and Bookheimer, 2007), while other studies have contradicted this notion

844

(Cabeza et al., 1997). According to Schacter et al., (1996), the absence of hippocampal activation in some

845

studies seems to be related with the nature of the utilized tasks, with primary involvement of the PFC observed

846

when the task requires a highly demanding research strategy. The involvement of the hippocampus has been

847

demonstrated during the retrieval of episodic information with respect to verbal material (Rugg et al., 1997;

848

Schacter et al., 1996), drawings (Schacter et al, 1995), and topographical information (Owen et al., 1996). A

849

growing body of literature describes the neural structures underling recollection and familiarity in healthy

850

individuals. Within the MTL, studies have distinguished between the hippocampus and the parahippocampal

851

gyrus (Shastri, 2002): the former appears to be related to both recollection and familiarity (Aggleton and Brown,

852

1999; Mayes et al., 2002), and is reduced in older adults; the latter, in contrast, is related to familiarity and shows

853

increased activity in the elderly relative to younger subjects (Bäckman et al., 1997; Daselaar et al., 2006; Skinner

854

& Fernandes, 2007; Yonelinas, 2001; but also see Stark and Squire, 2003). This conclusion is supported by the

855

R/K paradigm, wherein subjects must specify under which circumstances the information was encoded (i.e., with

856

or without revival). Hippocampal activation is lower in the elderly compared to younger subjects, reflecting the

857

importance of the hippocampus in the more elaborate aspects of EM. In contrast, the rhinal and perirhinal

858

cortices (located near the hippocampus) show greater activity in older subjects, suggesting that this region

859

underpins another, less fragile aspect of memory: the feeling of familiarity (Daselaar et al., 2006; Vanssay-

860

Maigne et al., 2011). These results are in line with the fact that elderly people show greater impairments in

861

recollection than in familiarity (e.g., Cabeza et al., 2004; Jennings and Jacoby, 1993; but also see Rosenbaum et

862

al., 2014, patient NB), and suggest that the elderly rely more heavily on familiarity to compensate for the deficit.

863

These findings also indicate that older adults compensate for hippocampal deficits by relying more on the rhinal

864

cortex, possibly through a top-down frontal modulation. This is consistent with the fact that older people present

865

a larger portion of “Know” responses than younger adults. In sum, during episodic retrieval, both decreases and

866

increases in MTL activity may be seen, depending on the involved sub-region(s).

23

867

4.6/ Are other neural substrates of EM affected by age?

868

In addition to the PFC and MTL regions, neuroimaging studies have also implicated the parietal cortex,

869

the cingulate gyrus, the retrosplenial region, the amygdala and the cerebellum in EM (Desgranges et al., 1998;

870

Spaniol, 2009). The effects of aging on these brain structures have not yet been established, but the parietal

871

neocortex has been increasingly accepted as being involved in the age-related declines of EM (Desgranges et al.,

872

2008; for review, see Wagner et al., 2005). As proposed Nyberg et al. (1996) with respect to young subjects, the

873

asymmetry described by the HERA model may hold true for other brain regions, becoming a “HERA extended”

874

model. The encoding of episodic information activates the left parietal cortex during object localization, and

875

Sperling et al. (2003) found that parietal activation during the encoding of novel face–name pairs was higher in

876

elderly participants versus young controls. In contrast, however, bilateral or right-side activations of the parietal

877

cortex have been associated with retrieval (Desgranges, 1998). In a category-learning task, older adults showed

878

greater bilateral parietal activation compared to young adults, and this bilateral activity was associated with

879

higher performance (Fera et al., 2005). This age-related over-recruitment also appears to be compensatory,

880

perhaps improving the ability of older adults to resolve tasks. In their meta-analysis, Maillet and Rajah (2014)

881

noted that the regions that are over-recruited by older adults during successful encoding all overlap with or occur

882

in close proximity to regions that have been associated with encoding failures in young adults. In a recent study,

883

when performing a Stroop-like task (i.e., identifying number magnitude and physical size), Huang et al. (2012)

884

observed that the left posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and right parietal cortex are recruited in young subjects

885

asked to identify number magnitude, while the right and left PPC were both recruited when these subjects were

886

asked to judge physical size, supporting the existence of compensatory processes in normal aging (see also

887

Nielson et al., 2002). These observations suggest that the HAROLD model may apply to regions other than the

888

PFC (Collins and Mohr, 2013).

889

The research has largely focused on the lateral parietal region, as damage to this region impairs some

890

aspects of EM(e.g., Davidson et al., 2008). The lateral parietal region may be activated during encoding and

891

retrieval (e.g., Ciaramelli et al., 2008), depending on the utilized material and studied sub-region, but it seems to

892

be more strongly associated with successful retrieval than successful encoding (for review, see Olson and

893

Berryhill, 2008). The encoding and retrieval of EM information requires some level of attention (e.g., Anderson

894

and Craik, 1974; Carrasco et al., 2004; Fernandes and Moscovitch, 2000; Moscovitch, 1992), which may depend

895

in part on the parietal cortex. Cabeza et al. (2008) proposed an anatomical model of memory and attention (the

896

Attention to Memory model), in which retrieval depends on distinct regions of the lateral PPC (Cabeza et al.,

897

2011;Naghavi and Nyberg, 2005; Spaniol, 2009). Indeed, parietal damage can impair the conscious retrieval of

898

even well encoded information (Bisiach and Luzzatti, 1978). The dorsal PPC region directs attention towards a

899

retrieval goal, whereas ventral PPC regions are implicated in bottom-up attention, as captured by environmental

900

stimuli or sensory cues. Distinctions can also be made between the superior and inferior parietal regions, which

901

show complementary patterns of activity: the superior area appears to reflect top-down influence in mediating

902

low-confidence responses, while the inferior region reflects a bottom-up influence that mediates high-confidence

903

responses (Kim and Cabeza, 2007). Studies have shown that different parietal regions are differentially involved

904

in various processes related to retrieval (Vilberg and Rugg, 2008). In fMRI studies using the R/K paradigm,

905

parietal activations were found to be stronger for items accompanied by vivid, clear recollections compared to

906

those accompanied by a feeling of knowing (Henson et al., 1999; Skinner and Fernandes, 2007; Wheeler and,

907

2004; for review, see Wagner et al., 2005). The dorsal parietal cortex is believed to support familiarity, whereas

24

908

the ventral region is concerned with recollection. Within the cortex, the temporo-parietal region contributes to

909

recollection, while the occipito-parietal region is associated with familiarity (Daselaar et al., 2006).

910

Another structure that has been highlighted as playing a role across a range of cognitive functions

911

(including EM) is the cerebellar region. The effects of aging on this structure are less well understood, however,

912

as no study has yet compared its activation between young and old people. Schacter et al. (1996) proposed that

913

(similar to the PFC) the cerebellum might be involved in strategic processes, retrieval efforts and the inhibition

914

of irrelevant information. Andreasen et al.(1995) underlined the close anatomical connections between the

915

cerebellum and the PFC, and suggested that (similar to the left PFC) the right cerebellum might belong to a

916

general memory circuit involved in the encoding of information. However, the data are inconsistent across

917

studies. Cerebellar activations were reported only for verbal materials and showed a tendency for right

918

lateralization during encoding tasks in some studies (Cabeza and Nyberg, 2000; Fliessbach et al., 2007), while

919

others have found that activation of the cerebellum appears to favor retrieval over encoding, and to

920

predominantly concern the left cerebellar hemisphere (Desgranges et al., 1998; Wiggs et al., 1999). Further

921

studies are needed to elucidate any age-related differences and to understand the specific role of the

922

cerebellum.The MRI- and PET-based study of age-related structural and functional changes performed by

923

Desgranges et al. (2008) showed that the most highly deteriorated morphological structures include the frontal

924

and parietal cortices, and the more caudal aspect of the hippocampal regions. The best-preserved regions, in

925

contrast, include the rostral hippocampal regions and the thalamus, especially the lateral nuclei. At the functional

926

level, the frontal and parietal cortices are the most sensitive to the effects of aging, followed by the MTL, while

927

the other regions are preserved. These results are consistent with the developmental hypothesis, which states that

928

the brain regions that develop first are the most resistant to the effects of aging, whereas the regions that develop

929

last are the most fragile.

930

While the above-described overview of the main involved anatomical structures provides insight into

931

their declines in normal aging, an emerging (yet consistent) finding in memory research is there are also age-

932

related differences in the functional connectivities of brain regions. Close anatomical linkages between the

933

parietal, occipital, frontal and medial temporal lobes have been shown to support EM encoding and retrieval

934

(Olson and Berryhill, 2009). During EM, age differences have been observed in studies that measured brain

935

activity during the successful encoding of words (Dennis and Cabeza, 2008), scenes (St Jacques et al., 2009) and

936

objects (Addis et al., 2010) with the Dm effect paradigm. During successful encoding, the elderly have a weaker

937

functional connectivity between the MTL and posterior regions (i.e., the occipital or parietal cortices), but

938

greater connectivity between the MTL and PFC, as compared to younger adults (Daselaar et al., 2006; Dennis et

939

al., 2008; Hayes et al., 2008; Leshikar et al., 2010; Park & McDonough, 2013). Some authors have found age-

940

related reductions in the fronto-temporal network during memory encoding (Grady et al., 1995; Grady et al.,

941

2003; Wang et al., 2010;), while altered fronto-occipital connectivity has also been observed with increasing age

942

(Moeller et al., 1996). Cabeza et al. (2004) found that older adults showed decreases in parietal and occipital

943

regions coupled with increases in PFC regions. Age-related differences in functional connectivity have also been

944

found during retrieval, most notably in temporal-parietal connectivity during recognition tasks. Using a verbal

945

task, Daselaar et al. (2006) demonstrated that older adults had reduced frontal connectivity within a

946

hippocampal–parietotemporal network relative to young adults, but increased connectivity within a

947

parahippocampal–frontal network. This result was interpreted as indicating that older adults compensate for

948

hippocampal deficits by relying more on the parahippocampal cortex. This is consistent with the notion that

25

949

older adults globally compensate for decreases in the neuronal activity of one brain region by recruiting

950

additional resources to perform a cognitive task (Dennis and Peterson, 2012; Davis et al., 2008).

951

In conclusion, EM is assembled in a complex circuit. Neurocognitive models of EM postulate that the

952

strategic component of the observed deficit depends primarily on the PFC, whereas the associative component

953

mostly relies on the MTL, especially the hippocampus (e.g., Simons and Spiers, 2003; Shing et al., 2010 for

954

reviews; Shing and Lindenberger, 2012). Along with the parietal cortex, these are key structures in both

955

encoding (Rombouts et al., 1997; Stern et al., 1996) and retrieval (e.g., Shannon and Buckner, 2004; Dennis and

956

Cabeza, 2008) of EM. Although little explored, EM deficits in older adults can also be related to age-related

957

differenceswithin the same group, between individuals, and according to single or multiple factors. Those same

958

factors might also be responsible for the accelerated declines seen in the most important neurodegenerative

959

diseases (i.e., AD), and may help direct the onset of the symptoms and the intra-individual differences that can

960

be seen between two people at the same stage of the disease.

961

5/ Inter-individual variability associated with EM in normal aging and Alzheimer disease

962

5.1/ Lifestyle

963

Age affects EM performance among healthy individuals (Kramer et al., 2003), but there are clearinter-

964

individual variabilities (Christensen et al., 1999; Morris and Price, 2001; Raz et al., 2009): while some people

965

decline rapidly and experience severe memory impairment at a relatively young age, even to the point of being

966

diagnosed with dementia, others undergo“normal” or even “successful” aging with little change (or even some

967

improvement)in their mental capacity into extreme old age (Albert et al., 1995; Dixon and de Frias, 2014; Reed

968

et al., 2010; Rubin et al., 1998; Wilson et al., 2002; Zelinski et al., 1993).When cognitive capacities decline in

969

aging, and particularly AD, EM is one of the first systems to fail (Hodges, 2000). Longitudinal studies have

970

confirmed that individual differences in cognitive performance increase from early to late adulthood (e.g., de

971

Frias et al., 2007); a number of individual characteristics have been found to be critically associatedwith the

972

variances in this process, and thusmay contribute to modulating the effects of aging on cognitive functions

973

(Anstey and Christensen 2000; Lemaire and Bherer, 2005). Two major negative factors are obesity

974

(e.g.,Sellbomand Gunstad, 2012) and hypertension (e.g.,Etgen et al., 2010; Raz and Rodrigue,2006; see also

975

Deary et al., 2009), and environmental and genetic influences also appear to be involved (e.g., Deary et al.,

976

2009;Finkel et al., 2005; McGue et al., 1993).Colombes et al. (2006) and Stern (2002) showed that the negative

977

effects of aging could be slowed throughout life (including in centenarians)bythe protective effects derived from

978

continuous cognitive stimulation, whichcontributesto thecognitive reserve (CR).In addition,heritability studies

979

have indicated that genetic variants strongly influence differences in cognitive ability throughout the lifespan,

980

including in old age (e.g., Tupler et al., 2007; Mormino, 2014)

981

The concept ofreserve (both passive and cognitive), which provides a framework for explaining

982

individual-level characteristics (Stern, 2011), reflects the amount of damage that can be sustained before

983

reaching a critical threshold at which clinical signs manifest (Bastin et al., 2013; Brickman et al., 2011;

984

Kalpouzos et al., 2008; Nyberg et al., 2012; Satz, 1993).The passive reserve refers to differences in brain

985

structure, such as neuronal density (Villeneuve and Belleville, 2010), which may increase the brain’s tolerance

986

of disease. This brain reserve differs from the CR, which Stern (2002, 2009) defined as an individual’s ability to

26

987

optimize or maximize performance on cognitive tasks by recruiting the same or different (neural compensation)

988

brain networkscompared to young subjects, and thus using alternative cognitive strategies (Baldivia et al., 2008).

989

The CR hypothesis posits that at any given level of clinical severity, the underlying pathology of AD is more

990

advanced in patients with a higher level of CR (Vemuri et al., 2011). IQ (e.g.,Christensen et al., 2007; Willerman

991

et al., 1991), social interactions (e.g., Fritsch et al., 2007; Scarmeas and Stern, 2003), leisure activities [both

992

cognitive (Fratiglioni et al., 2004; Fritsch et al., 2007; Stern, 2006) and physical (Anstey and Christensen, 2000;

993

Nithianantharajah and Hannan, 2009; Smith et al., 2014)], level of education (Andel et al., 2006; Bruandet et al.,

994

2008; Christensen et al., 2009; Fritsch et al., 2002; Singh-Manoux et al., 2011; Vance et al., 2010),and

995

professional activities (e.g., Andel et al., 2006; Fritsch et al., 2002)confera lifelong set of skills that maylengthen

996

an individual’s resistance against age-related cognitive declines and reduce his or her risk of

997

developingAlzheimer’s disease(for review, see alsoScarmeas and Stern, 2003; Valenzuela and Sachdev, 2006).

998

Alzheimer's patients with a high CR but a more advanced disease stagecan operate at a level of clinical severity

999

equivalent to that of lower CR patients in earlier stages of the disease.However, such patients show greater AD-

1000

related brain damage (i.e., parieto-temporal and frontal hypoperfusion)andonce the cognitive decline begins in

1001

such individuals, it progresses more quickly than in other groups (Hall et al., 2007; Figure 3). Scarmeas et al.

1002

(2004) demonstrated that the hippocampus plays an important role in the reservesof AD patients, assignificant

1003

activation of this structure seems to be the optimal response in AD patients with high CR.

5.2/ Genetics

1010

Although lifestyle factors can help people grow older successfully, new research has also focused on the

1011

roles played by genetic differences, especially given that EM is a heritable and polygenic trait

1012

(Papassotiropoulos and de Quervain, 2011). In normal populations(Plomin et al., 2001; Plomin and Spinath,

1013

2002; Friedman et al., 2008), including twin and adoption studies (Bouchard and McGue, 1981; Bouchard and

1014

McGue, 2003; Carmelli et al., 1997; Petrill et al., 2001), over 50% of the variance in adult cognitive ability is

1015

thought to arise from genetic influences. In recent years, researchers have linked specific genes (COMT, BDNF,

1016

ApoE4 for the main) to cognitive functioning and EM in older adults (Goldberg and Weinberger, 2004; Harris

1017

and Deary, 2011), as well as many of the dementias that have been seen in older populations.

1018

As a variety of evidence has implicated the PFC and dopaminergic pathways in cognition and EM (e.g.,

1019

Dickinson and Elvevag, 2009; for review,see Lisman and Grace, 2005; Shohamy and Adcock, 2010), some

1020

researchers have focused on genes that are related to the regulation of dopaminergic function. Evidence suggests

1021

that the relationship between DA levels and prefrontal cognitive performance follows an inverted-U-shaped

1022

function, where performance is impaired by the presence of too little or too much DA (Mattay et al., 2003; for

1023

review, see Cools andD’Esposito, 2011).Catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) is an enzyme that inactivates

1024

the release of DA (Raz et al., 2009). Humans havea functional polymorphism in the COMT gene, where a

27

1025

methionine (Met) for valine (Val) substitution at codon 158 (Val158Met) reduces the enzyme’s thermostability

1026

and activity (Chen et al., 2004; Lewis et al., 2001; Mazei et al., 2002; Moron et al., 2002), thereby decreasing the

1027

degradation of DA in the neocortex. The high-activity Val allele, in contrast, directs faster catabolism of

1028

prefrontal DA at the synapse, impairing prefrontal function and reducing performance on a range of cognitive

1029

tasks among Val carriers compared to non-Val carriers (e.g., Egan et al., 2001). COMT has been mainly

1030

associated with executive functions in studies of both younger and elderly individuals (Payton, 2009), with

1031

homozygotes for the low-activity Met allele performing better than subjects with the high-activity Val allele

1032

(Malhotra et al., 2002; for review, see also Greenwood andParasuraman, 2003). De Frias et al. (2004) found an

1033

association of this functional polymorphism with EM, with Met/Met carriers outperforming the Val carriers, as

1034

found by Bates et al. (2003) on a delayed visual memory-recall task (see also Savitz et al., 2006 for a

1035

review).However, a meta-analysis yielded mixed results, including little to no association between the COMT-

1036

Val158Met genotype and cognitive function (Barnett et al., 2008).

1037

The gene encoding brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been associated with EM

1038

performance (de Quervain et al., 2003; Egan et al., 2003; Ho et al., 2006; Voineskos et al., 2011; see also

1039

Papassotiropoulos and de Quervain, 2011 but see Harris et al., 2006; Dennis et al., 2011; Laing et al., 2012;

1040

Gong et al., 2012 for inconsistent findings) and appears to play a role in the MTL, primarily in the hippocampus

1041

(Greenwood andParasuraman, 2003; Hariri et al., 2003; Kambeitz et al., 2012), but also in the PFC (Bertolino et

1042

al., 2006; Pezawas et al., 2004) in humans and non-human species. A steady decline in BDNF expression has

1043

been associated with normal aging (Tapia-Arancibia et al., 2008), while in AD,its expression is reduced in the

1044

hippocampus and entorhinal cortex (i.e., the first structures to be pathologically degraded).This neurotrophin has

1045

been linked to the long-term potentiation-mediated facilitation of memory formation (Poo, 2001). A common

1046

functional Val-to-Met substitution at amino acid 66 (Val66Met) has been identified, with the Met allele

1047

associated in some studies with impaired BDNF trafficking and poorer EM performance (e.g., Hariri et al., 2003;

1048

Kambeitz et al., 2012), while other studies reported contradictory results (Harris and Deary, 2011; Dennis et al.,

1049

2011). Nevertheless, behavioral results from Egan et al. (2003) showed that the BDNF polymorphism is

1050

associated with delayed recall of stories but not word lists, suggesting a different involvement according on the

1051

task. Furthermore, Met carriers appeared to exhibit poorer performance (Koppel and Goldberg, 2009) and

1052

reduced neural activity within the MTL when performing EM tasks(Bath and Lee, 2006; Bueller et al., 2006;

1053

Hairi et al., 2003;Kauppi et al., 2014). The Met BDNF allele is associated withabnormal hippocampal function

1054

and greater prefrontal activity (Mattay et al., 2008). This may reflect the presence of a compensatory mechanism

1055

that can maintain performance and decreased EM performances in elderly subjects and young healthy

1056

individuals compared to BDNF Val homozygotes (Pezawas et al., 2004).Voineskos et al. (2011) showed that

1057

elderlyVal homozygoteswere characterized by decreases in EM performance, entorhinal cortex thickness,

1058

andintegrity of the white matter tract. Additionally, functional brain imaging studies indicated that Met carriers

1059

exhibit higher MTL activity than non-Met carriers during both encoding and retrieval ofEM tasks (Dennis et al.,

1060

2011), even when the analysis controlled for cognitive performance. The authors suggested that this increased

1061

activity might be needed to match the memory performance of non-carriers. The possible interaction ofthe

1062

COMT and BDNF polymorphisms has been examined. For example, Miller and Cohen (2001) proposed that the

1063

two factors might jointly regulate the prefrontal-MTL circuit responsible for EM,while Nagel et al. (2008) found

1064

an interaction between BDNF Val66Met, COMT Val158Met, and age. The latter authors posited that older

1065

individuals homozygous for the Val allele of COMT experienced additional performance declines if they were

1066

also BDNF Met-carriers, suggesting that the BDNF polymorphism negatively modulates the interaction between

28

1067

age and Val-COMT. Moreover, Witte et al. (2012) reported that the interaction between these COMT and BDNF

1068

polymorphisms explained significantly more of the variation in cortical plasticity than either gene alone.

1069

Finally, a functional polymorphism in the gene that encodes apolipoprotein (ApoE) is the most clearly

1070

established genetic risk factor for AD (for review, see Grady, 2012). ApoE is a ubiquitous protein that plays a

1071

major role in the clearance of beta-amyloid (A), which is thought to be the neurotoxic agent of AD. The

1072

encoding gene has three allelic variations in the human population:2, 3, and 4. In contrast to 2 and 3

1073

carriers, 4 allele carriers are at adose-dependently increasedrisk for developing AD (Havlik et al., 2000;

1074

Katzman et al., 1997; Moffat et al., 2000; Perry et al., 2001), with two copies of 4 increasing the risk of

1075

developing early AD to 80%, compared toa risk of 20% in the absence of the allele (Corder et al., 1993; for

1076

ameta-analysis, see Farrer et al., 1997). Compared to the heterozygous carriers, 4 homozygotes have greater

1077

deficits in EM tasks (e.g., Nilsson et al., 2006; Matura et al., 2014), even when such individuals are selected as

1078

“high functioning” (Bretsky et al., 2003); they also show reduced bilateral MTL volumes (Lemaître et al.,

1079

2005).However, 4-carrier status is associated with greater longitudinal declines in memory performance, which

1080

become evident by the sixth decade of life (Caselli et al., 2009). A recent study by Kantarci et al. (2012) showed

1081

for the first time that the ApoE genotype modifies the association between cognition and the A load, which is

1082

measured with PIB-Pittsburgh compound B andconstitutes the senile plaques in cognitively normal older adults

1083

(see also Sparks et al., 1996). While PIB retention was modestly associated with cognitive function even after

1084

the data were adjusted for age, sex, and education, the presence of the ApoE 4 allele significantly increased the

1085

A load and influenced the relationship between the A load and cognitive function, increasing the risk of

1086

cognitive decline in healthy individuals. Another tracer (18F-FDDNP) was used by Shoghi-Jadid et al. (2002) to

1087

label bothNFT(Neurofibrillary tangles) and A deposits, the main proteins that misfold and accumulate in AD.

1088

The authors found significant accumulation of this marker in the hippocampal region, a strong link between

1089

marker fixation areas and hypometabolism areas,and a negative correlation between marker accumulation and

1090

EM. Kauppi and colleagues (2014) recently investigated the combined effect of APOE and BDNF on

1091

hippocampal activity and found thatthe APOE 4 and BDNF Met alleles were associated with decreased

1092

activation of the anterior (hippocampus) and posterior (parahippocampal gyrus) parts of the MTL(see also Ward,

1093

2014; conversely, see Richter-Schmidinger et al., 2011). Faster EM declines and reduced hippocampal

1094

volumeswere found in Met carriersof BDNF with high A loads among those in the prodromal stage of AD (Lim

1095

et al., 2014). However, it is important to emphasize that the ApoE 4 allele appears to have only a limited effect

1096

on cognition in dementia-free individuals (e.g., Small et al., 2000). In a recent study, Ferencz et al. (2013) did

1097

not find that ApoE alone affected hippocampal (HC) volume and EM performance in adults older than 60

1098

years;however, they did observe an association between HC volume and free recall performance in ApoE 4

1099

carriers who also carried the risk alleles of TOMM40, which encodes a protein that is required for transporting

1100

proteinsinto mitochondria. On a functional level, PET studies revealed widespread reductions in the glucose

1101

metabolism of cognitively intact adults (50-65 years old) (Reiman et al., 1996),and in younger adults carrying

1102

the 4 allele (20-39 years old, Reiman et al., 2004), as assessed in the posterior cingulate, temporo-parietal and

1103

prefrontal regions (i.e., the same regions that exhibit metabolic deficits in AD patients) (Alexander et al., 2002).

1104

These observations suggest that the neural networks that sub-serve EM function are altered in APOE 4 carriers

1105

in a manner similar to that observed in subjects with early dementia (i.e., MCI; Bookheimer et al., 2000).

1106

Additionally, healthy ApoE 4 carriers show volume reductions in the hippocampus (Cohen et al., 2001; Moffat

29

1107

et al., 2000), the white matter (Plassman et al., 1997) and the gray matter in the medial temporal and fronto-

1108

temporal regions (Wishart et al., 2006), compared to non-carriers. However, a study by Han and colleagues

1109

(2007) found that multiple right hemisphere brain regions were activated more strongly during a verbal paired-

1110

associated learning task in ApoE 4 non-demented older adults compared to their non-4 counterparts. The

1111

authors suggested that at-risk personsmight require additional structures to maintain a level of behavioral

1112

performance equivalent to that of non-4 allele carriers.

1113

In sum, the existence of a large inter-individual variation in performance and neuronal substrate has often

1114

been reported in the literature and this variability even seems to increase with age. Several characteristics appear

1115

critical in the appearance of these interindividual differences, including environmental, genetic and “self”

1116

(education, activities…) factors. The emotional state of the subjects and the congruence of this state at the time

1117

of encoding and recall might also influence this variability (Syssau, 1998 for review). With the existence of these

1118

risk factors, how EM decline is seen in Alzheimer disease?

1119

6/ Episodic memory and Alzheimer disease

1120

6.1/ Pathophysiology and characteristics of the disease

1121

AD is a progressive, irreversible and severely disabling disorder of memory and cognition that inevitably

1122

results in the need for intensive care, and ultimately indeath. Initially discovered by Aloïs Alzheimer in 1906,

1123

AD is a neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. The disease is characterized by two types of

1124

microscopic brain lesions, amyloid plaques (or senile plaques; Gouras et al., 2000) and neurofibrillary tangles

1125

(NFT; Grundke-Iqbal et al., 1986), along with neuronal and synaptic loss. Amyloid plaques arise from the

1126

extracellular accumulation of Aß protein (a metabolic waste product), whileNFTreflect accumulation of the tau

1127

protein, which is inactivated by hyper-phosphorylation and found as conglomerates in the cell body of the

1128

neuron and its extensions. The microscopic lesions lead to neuronal dysfunction and death, yielding the

1129

macroscopic result of altered brain activity and cortical atrophy, with the brain losing about 8-10% of its weight

1130

within a decade. In vivo neuroimaging techniques (i.e., MRI and PET) have revealed that this atrophy first

1131

develops in the MTL, entorhinal cortex and hippocampus (Schwindt and Black, 2009), andthen spreads into the

1132

neocortex (Delacourte et al., 1999), followed by thesubcortical nuclei, brainstem and cerebellum (Thal et al.,

1133

2002).

1134

In the absence of any clear biological or neurological marker, AD is also characterized by cognitive deficits

1135

that gradually affect overall cognitive functioning. Of the five major memory systems, most authors consider the

1136

EM system to be the most clinically relevant for AD patients (e.g.,Bäckman et al., 2004; Dubois et al., 2007;

1137

McKhann, 2011;Small and Bäckman, 2007; Thomas-Anterion and Laurent, 2006),given that impairments in this

1138

system can worsen memory for recent events, leading to functional deficits. AD has a preclinical period called

1139

MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment), during which early and mild cognitive deficits can be identified (e.g., Bordet

1140

et al., 2010); in 50% of affected individuals, this period evolves to AD pathology within a few years

1141

(Trojanowski et al., 2010). Although MCI may therefore represent a prodromal stageof AD, it is a heterogeneous

1142

syndrome, with some patients never progressing to dementia (Richard and Brayne, 2014).

30

1143

6.2/ Behavioral data

1144

Patients with AD show deficits in EM from the very early stages of the disease. These performance deficits

1145

reflect disorders of encoding andstorage (e.g., Pena-Casanova et al., 2012) but also retrieval. These disorders are

1146

often associated with temporal and spatial disorientation, and patients often have difficulties withEM tasks (for

1147

review, see Ergis& Eusop-Roussel, 2008). In memory consultations for the early detection of dementia, one of

1148

the most widely used tests for assessing EM is called “free recall-cued recall 16 items” (Desgranges and

1149

Eustache, 2003).This test aims to differentiate EM pure disorders from apparent memory deficits. Whereas pure

1150

memory disorders are due to problems with encoding or consolidation, underpinned by the hippocampus,

1151

apparent memory deficits are related to the use of inefficient strategies, attentional disorders that affect memory

1152

performance, and information-retrieval disorders, underpinned by the frontal cortex (Eustache et al., 2006).This

1153

verbal test, developed by Grober and Buschke (1987) is based on the encoding depth (the subject is asked to

1154

perform semantic processing of presented words) and encoding specificity (the same clues are used during

1155

encoding and recovery, and the effectiveness of retrieval cues depends on the conditions under which the

1156

information was encoded). In AD, the obtained pattern largely favors an encoding disorder, with AD patients

1157

having difficulties with establishing an elaborate (deep semantic) encoding of either the target information or the

1158

context (e.g., Bird and Luszcz, 1991; Bondi and Kaszniak, 1991; Monti et al., 1996) compared to healthy older

1159

people. Moreover, AD patients have performance deficits in both recall and recognition, leading some

1160

researchers to posit the presence ofan encoding deficit (Delis et al., 1991; Bäckman and Small, 1998). Dalla

1161

Barda and Goldblum (1996)found that the recognition performances of their non-healthy participantswere lower

1162

than those of the control group, and patients were less capable of correctly associating items by their semantic

1163

relationships (see also Goldblum et al., 1998). Similar to AD patients, MCI subjects gain little benefit from the

1164

semantic links that would normally be used during the encoding of words (Perri et al., 2005). This difficulty

1165

could reflect either an inability to discriminate between two related concepts due to loss of the details

1166

distinguishing the concepts (e.g., Martin and Fedio, 1983; Sailor et al., 1998) or an inability to relate those

1167

concepts during encoding. Moreover, some authors have observed that patients are unable to retrieve information

1168

when the recall task is delayed (e.g., Hart et al., 1988), suggesting that there is a deficit in the consolidation of

1169

information during the formation ofEM. This lack of storage would mostly appear in free recall tests rather than

1170

cued recall or recognition tasks (Christensen et al., 1998).

1171

Considerable data support the hypothesis that the weak EM performance of Alzheimer's patients might

1172

come from a deficit at the retrieval level of information, which appears to arise in the early stages of the disease

1173

(Perri et al., 2007) and leads affected individuals to forget quickly (Delis et al., 1991). AD patients typically have

1174

difficulties learning lists of words; moreover, once a list is learned, they quickly have difficulty recalling the

1175

words or recognizing them among distractors (Delis et al., 1991; Moulin et al., 2004; Traykov et al., 2007). As

1176

seen for encoding, patients benefit little from semantic cueing or environmental support, and their sensitivity to

1177

indicesdecreases as the disease progresses (Ergis and Eusop-Roussel, 2008; Libon et al., 1996; Wagner et al.,

1178

2012). They also appear to be unable to inhibit irrelevant associations (Helkala et al., 1989). However,

1179

contradictions appear:some studies have noted performance deficits for both recognition and free recall

1180

(Bäckman et al., 2001; Delis et al., 1991), while others found normal performance for recognition, at least during

1181

the first stage of the disease (e.g., Karlson et al., 2003; Tounsi et al., 1999). In some cases, free recall was found

1182

to be less successful in patients (e.g., Bartok et al., 1997; Kramer et al., 1988), and although the superior recall of

1183

pictures (compared to words) is preserved in AD patients (Ally et al., 2009), some authors found similar

31

1184

performances between recall and recognition tasks using both verbal and pictorial items (e.g., Deweer et al.,

1185

1993;Eslinger and Damasio, 1986; Fleischman et al., 1997; Grosse et al., 1990; Heindel et al.,1988; Koivisto et

1186

al., 1996;Greene et al., 1996). These findings suggest that the EM deficit observed among AD patients reflects

1187

an issue with learning rather than an acceleration of forgetting or disruption of retrieval. Tounsi et al. (1999)

1188

used the RL/RI 16 items test to examine 131 AD patients divided into four sub-groups according to the severity

1189

of dementia (i.e., pre-clinical to severe). Using a cued recall task, the authors showed that performance worsened

1190

withdisease progression, suggesting that retrieval is disordered at an early stage of AD. Retrieval deficits are also

1191

observed for autobiographical memory in patients with moderate stage of the disease, with consequences for

1192

future thinking. They are able to remember the past and imaging the future. However, patients will generate

1193

future events that are closely linked with their past memories, as few amount of memories are available (El haj et

1194

al., 2015a, 2015b). This inability to detach from the little information kept in memory to create new ones might,

1195

according to the authors, comes from a decline of flexibility, underpinned by the frontal lobes as well as from an

1196

alteration of the hippocampus.

1197

Piolino et al. (2003) demonstrated that familiarity processes are preserved in AD, whereasdeteriorations

1198

are seen in the controlled processes of conscious recollection. This conclusion is in line with the findings of

1199

Balota et al. (2002), who used a word recognition task in which they manipulated the frequency oftarget items

1200

and lures, and reported thatADpatients showed diminished performance on low-frequency words but not high-

1201

frequency words, as the latter triggered familiarity processes through their high frequency in the language.

1202

Conversely, lures were well rejected regardless of their degree of familiarity. Comparable results have been

1203

reported in MCI patients, with authors noting altered recollection but preservation of familiarity processes

1204

(Anderson et al., 2008; Hudon et al., 2009; Westerberg et al., 2006). Thus, it seems that recollection processes

1205

(i.e., those that allow subjects to retrieve items and their encoding context)may be sensitive right from the

1206

prodromal stage of AD,whereas familiarity processes are less sensitive. However, the deficits in encoding and

1207

consolidation increase as the pathology progresses,suggesting that rather thanbeing a sole deficit inretrieval, the

1208

desired information fails to be properly encoded.

1209

AD patients exhibit great difficulty in evoking memories and information, and also suffer from memory

1210

distortions (Balota et al., 2002; Budson et al., 2000; Dalla Barbaet al., 1999). Traditionally, studies in the field

1211

have focused on analyzing the negative symptoms that characterize the memory disorders related to Alzheimer's

1212

disease. More recently, however, researchers have turned to theso-called “positive” symptoms, such as extra-list

1213

intrusions, whichare the production of words that do not belong to the presented list in a recall task, and false

1214

recognition, which occurs when a subject is convinced that he or she recognizes an item even though it was not

1215

previously presented in the recognition task (Adam, 2006). Desgranges et al. (2002) suggested that different

1216

intrusions may arise via different processes: free recall intrusions that lack any semantic link to the target words

1217

may be attributed to deficits in strategic processes, reflecting a frontal dysfunction, whereas cued recall

1218

intrusions are induced relatively automatically by indices, reflecting rhinal dysfunction (Ergis and Eusop-

1219

Roussel, 2008). Several studies showed that ADpatients had a generally positive response bias (i.e., a tendency

1220

to always say “yes, I have seen this item”) in recognition tests (Pillon et al., 1993; Snodgrass andCorwin, 1988).

1221

Balota et al. (2002) used the mirror effect paradigm to account for this phenomenon. Subjects first memorize a

1222

series of words(50% with low lexical frequency, 50% high lexical frequency), and then are exposed to a

1223

distracting task before being testedwith a yes/no recognition task. The mirror effect paradigm predicts that low-

1224

frequency wordswill trigger more correct recognitions and less false recognition relative to items with a high

1225

lexical frequency. In AD, however, the opposite is observed. Budson et al. (2000), and Balota et al. (1999)

32

1226

showed that,compared to controls, Alzheimer's patientscommit fewer false recognitions after a single exposure

1227

to a list of semantically associated items, but show higher levels of false recognition after repeated exposure to

1228

the same list. This suggests that Alzheimer patients build up a semantic gist across trials, whereas controls

1229

distinguishacross all semantic items (i.e., if “tulip” is in list 1, “daisy” is in list 2 and “lily” is in list 3, controls

1230

will remember the semantic category of “flower” but not each individual item).

1231

6.3/ Neural structures implicated inEM declines

1232

The age-related decline in EMis a continuous process (Sexton, 2010) that arises from the dysfunction of an

1233

integrated network and (at least in AD) involves specific pathologies of both gray and white matter. Patients with

1234

a neurodegenerative disease, at least in the early stages of disease evolution, may present with very

1235

circumscribed neurocognitive impairment, as confirmed by the use of brain imaging. For example, Desgranges

1236

et al. (1998) used PET and a “cognitive-metabolic correlation” strategy to show that specific damages to

1237

different memory systems are related to specific and highly focused abnormalities in brain metabolism.However,

1238

impaired EM seems to be linked to dysfunction of an extensive network that includes the hippocampus and PFC

1239

(dorsal and ventral medial PFC, bilaterally), along with other regions, such as the posterior

1240

cingulate/retrosplenial cortex, the precuneus, the inferior parietal lobule and the hippocampal formation (i.e.

1241

entorhinal cortex and parahippocampal cortex) (Greicius et al., 2003; Laird et al., 2009). These structures are

1242

also known to be involved in the so-called default mode network(DMN; Eustache et al., 2006; Buckner et al.,

1243

2008 for reviews).The DMN, participating in EM (e.g. Shapira-Lichter et al., 2013), is an interconnected and

1244

anatomically defined brain system that preferentially activates in states of relative rest but deactivate during

1245

external-orienting tasks (e.g. Anticevic et al., 2012 ; Buckner et al., 2008). Deactivation of key nodes of the

1246

DMN, in coordination with hippocampal activation, may in fact be a prerequisite for successful memory

1247

encoding (Daselaar and Cabeza, 2004 ; Miller et al., 2008). Conversely, there is evidence that failure to suppress

1248

activity in some of the core default mode areas such as the precuneus is associated with failed encoding and poor

1249

performance in subsequent memory tests in cognitively normal young and old subjects (e.g. Otten and Rugg,

1250

2001)Several authors found a concordance between AD-related atrophy and healthy intrinsic functional

1251

connectivity in the DMN (Buckner et al., 2005; Greicius et al., 2004, Seeley et al., 2009).In recent fMRI studies

1252

of AD, corresponding brain default mode regions have been found to demonstrate an abnormal fMRI task-

1253

induced deactivation response pattern.Deactivation is progressively disrupted from normal aging to MCI and to

1254

clinical AD (Philajamaki and Sperling, 2009). In other words, the weaker the deactivations become in the DMN,

1255

the greater risk to develop the disease is important (e.g. Petrella et al., 2007). Moreover, the functionnal

1256

disconnection between the posterior cingulate cortex and the hippocampus may explain some of their EM

1257

impairments (e.g. Chételat et al., 2003 ; Villain et al., 2008).

1258

Most studies agree that the AD pathologybegins with the formation of NFT in the MTL. As the severity of

1259

the disease increases, the NFTprogressively accumulates and structural atrophy increases (Duyckaerts et al.,

1260

1998; Delacourte et al., 1999). In the early to moderate stages of AD, EM formation is critically underpinned by

1261

the hippocampal region (Baron et al., 2001; Desgranges, 2008) and the entorhinal cortex (Scheltens et al., 2002;

1262

for review, see Braak et al., 1999; Chételat and Baron, 2003; Taylor and Probst, 2008; see also Hirni et al.,

1263

2013). The temporo-parietal and posterior cingulate cortices are also affected, and the disease spreads to other

1264

neocortical regionsas the severity increases (Atienza et al., 2011; Gomez-Isla et al., 1996). In vivo imaging

1265

studies have shown that certain regions (e.g., the posterior parietal, cingulate and retrosplenial cortices) contain

33

1266

exceptionally high levels of amyloid plaques in AD patients, andamyloid deposition in the parietal cortex

1267

isnegatively correlated with glucose metabolism, suggesting that activity is diminished in this region (Klunk et

1268

al., 2004). As shown by Wolk et al. (2011), the neural substrates required to integrate and process information

1269

vary significantly depending on the stage of processing (i.e., encoding and/or retrieval).

1270

Functional disturbances of resting metabolism in AD brains have also been observed in a pattern

1271

mimicking structural modifications. A number of studies have reported either similar (Heun et al., 2007;

1272

Sandström et al., 2006) or increased MTL and notably increased hippocampal activity (Fleisher et al., 2005) in

1273

at-risk persons (i.e.,MCI patients orasymptomatic carriers of at least one ApoEɛ4 allele) compared to controls

1274

during EM tasks.However, hypometabolism and hypoperfusion of the temporo-parietal and posterior cingulate

1275

cortices constitute the earliest and most frequent dysfunction in AD(e.g.,Grön et al., 2004; Lind et al.,

1276

2006;Loessner et al. 1995) and are associated with pure EM disorders (e.g.,Desgranges and Eustache, 2005;

1277

Bäckman et al., 1999; Golby et al., 2005; Gron et al., 2002; Pariente et al., 2005). Asymmetry of the temporo-

1278

parietal cortex is reported in most PET studies of affected individuals with right hemispheric alterations noted in

1279

patients with MCI (Chételat et al., 2003; Mosconi et al., 2004) or moderate AD (Nagahama et al., 2003; for

1280

review, see Chételat et al., 2006). The reported results are somewhat heterogeneous, which can be explained in

1281

part by differences in the utilized methodologies and studied disease stages. For example, Desgranges et al.

1282

(2002) compared groups of patients at different stages of AD in an effort to follow the organization of brain

1283

networks during the course of the disease. EM was measured by PET analysis during retrieval, using a story

1284

recall test in a group of 40 patients divided into two subgroups (n=20 patients per group)based on their Mini

1285

Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores.For those having the highest MMSEscores (i.e. MCI), the significant

1286

correlationswere restricted to limbic structures, including the hippocampal, parahippocampal/perirhinal,

1287

entorhinal and retrosplenial cortices. This finding suggests that the dysfunction of these regions is responsible for

1288

the first declines in EM seen among AD patients. In the more severe subgroup, whichincluded patients with

1289

more profound pathology-associated memory deficits,correlations with EMwere found with regions of the

1290

neocortex, particularly the temporal lobe, which has been implicated in semantic memory. These correlations

1291

have been interpreted as reflecting a compensatory mechanism that is activated by the disease (for review, see

1292

Eustache et al., 2006). Compared to elderly controls, patients with mild AD show hypoactivations of MTL when

1293

encoding scenes or pictures (Machulda et al., 2003; Rombouts et al., 2000; Small et al., 1999), recognizing

1294

geometric patterns (Gron et al., 2002), and retrieving associations (Dickerson et al., 2005; Pariente et al., 2005;

1295

Sperling et al., 2003). In most studies, additional activations are seen in various neocortical regions, particularly

1296

the frontal (and also parietal) region, in patients with established AD (e.g.,Bäckman et al., 1999; Grady et al.,

1297

1993; Grossman et al., 2003; Rémy et al., 2005; Yetkin et al., 2006),and in MCI patients during EM tasks (Heun

1298

et al., 2007). During encoding and retrieval, patients showed consistently greater activity in the right DL-PFC

1299

and left or bilateral VL-PFC when compared to controls. The observed PFC differences between patients and

1300

elderly controls were unidirectional, with AD patients showing greater PFC activity than controls. A relationship

1301

between VL-PFC and the MTL has been documented, in that the degree of activity in the left VL-PFC is greater

1302

in older adults with less MTL activity during encoding (Gutchess et al., 2005). The same phenomenon has been

1303

observed in the medial parietal cortex and posterior cingulate gyrus(Sperling et al., 2003, Fouquet et al.,

1304

2007).Although overactivation might support improved performance in the short term, it could also be a sign that

1305

an individual is compensating for a progressive pathology (and therefore could predict future declines).

1306

In recent years there has been an emphasis in exploring the dynamic properties of the subregions (dentate

1307

gyrus, Ammon’s horn, subiculum) of the hippocampus rather than examining the hippocampus as a

34

1308

homogeneous structure. Indeed, subfields of the hippocampus are not uniformly affected by the disease. The

1309

function of the dentate gyrus (DG) is manifold but it has a key role in the processing of spatial information and

1310

memory processes : formation of new memories (Zhao et al., 2008), associative memory (Morris, 2006), spatial

1311

pattern separation (Kesner, 2013), context pattern separation (Lee and Solivan, 2010 ; Wei Deng et al., 2013) for

1312

some of its main role. The human dentate gyrus have the unique property of persistent adult neurogenesis (Li et

1313

al., 2008). It is thought to play an important role in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory. Li and

1314

colleagues found that, in AD, although neuroproliferation increase, the differentiation of newly born cells into

1315

mature neurons is compromised. However, the dentate gyrus has been shown to withstands neurodegenerative

1316

disease markers until late stage of AD (Ohm, 2007). This is also true for the CA3 region, part of the ammon’s

1317

horn (Gómez-Isla et al.,1996). On the contrary, the CA1 zone is vulnerable to the disease as an atrophy, neuronal

1318

loss and NFT are observed (Mueller et al., 2010 ; Pluta et al., 2012, West, 1994). The anatomy suggests that the

1319

subiculum might participate in multiple reverberating circuits linking the hippocampus and the wider temporal

1320

cortex. It would compare novel stimuli from the entorhinal cortex with temporarily stored information in the

1321

hippocampus (Witter et al., 2000). The subiculum might also receive multiple mapped versions of the same

1322

space possibly facilitating the construction of distinct spatial maps (Menendez, 2006). Although mildly affected

1323

in early stages, significant reductions in the amount of dendrites (i.e. neural number) have been shown in AD,

1324

particularly in later stages (Rossler et al., 2002 ; West, 1994).

1325

Finally, although the cerebellum is not considered to be a primary focus of AD pathology, differences have

1326

been noted in cerebellar regions upon both encoding and retrieval. Indeed, while the cerebellum was traditionally

1327

thought to be unaffected in AD, neuropathological studies haveidentified cerebellar changes in the late stage of

1328

the disease (Rapoport et al., 2000; Wegiel et al., 1998). One study revealed that patients showed very large

1329

activationsof the left and right cerebellar hemispheres upon encoding (however, this work failed to specify the

1330

disease stage)(Schwindt and Black, 2009). Ishii et al. (1997) found that cerebellar metabolism was decreased in

1331

severe AD, and this decrease was correlated with the MMSE score. Together, these results suggest that atrophy

1332

progresses with the severity of AD, spreading from the MTL to the entire cortex.

1333

In sum, EM impairment is reached very early in AD patients and differ according to the severity of the

1334

disease. These performance deficits reflect specific disorders to one or more of the steps of encoding, storage

1335

and/or recovery, but also the creation of false memories, such as the production of intrusion and false

1336

recognition.The pattern of EM impairments displayed by AD patients is consistent with damage to areas of the

1337

MTL (the entorhinal cortex being affected first) and frontal lobes. MRI findings have also suggested that the

1338

fornix and mammillary bodies are atrophied in AD compared with healthy controls and with patients with MCI.

1339

7/ Conclusion and perspectives

1340

Over the last few years, neuroimaging studies (fMRI and PET) conducted on EMhave revealed that

1341

different brain networks are involved in healthy elderly subjects or AD patients compared to the reference

1342

population (i.e., young subjects). However, the study of EM has not been limited to PET- and fMRI-based

1343

methodologies,and numerous researchers have used other techniques, such asevent-related potentials(ERPs) or

1344

transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS), to explore the responses of thebrain. The age-related decline in EM has

1345

been associated with structural and functional alterations in the PFC, the MTL (including the hippocampus and

1346

parahippocampal regions), the parietal lobe, the cingulate gyrus, and the cerebellum. Such studies have further

1347

suggested that different mechanisms may be involved in age-related versus pathology-related memory

1348

impairments.

1349

In normal aging, changes in the PFC (the most sensitive structure) seem to underlie the age-related

1350

declines in memory performance, at least among the oldest subjects. The central role of this structure is also

1351

emphasized by the finding that its activity increases in response to the under-recruitment of the MTL, reflecting

1352

a compensatory mechanism (for an example, see Gutchess et al., 2005). EM difficulties also appear to be linked

1353

to more general declines in attentional, executive and speed processing, which are further associated with

1354

volume reductions in the frontal cortex. From a behavioral point of view, Craik and Jennings (1992) noted that

1355

age effects are difficult to characterize in terms of a single dimension, instead appearing to represent a complex

1356

interaction between participants, materials, and variables of encoding and retrieval. The existence of a cognitive

1357

reserve, although difficult to measure, could also explain the apparent discrepancies between the results of

1358

different studies.

1359

Understanding the age-associated deficits in memory is important for two reasons. First, in view of the

1360

growing number of older adults in today’s society, cognitive aging is increasingly becoming a problem of

1361

general health care, and effective therapeutic intervention methods can only be developed on the basis of

1362

knowledge obtained through fundamental research. Second, there is a subgroup of elderly with more severe

1363

memory impairments that prevent them from functioning normally within their environment. Such memory

1364

impairments can be the earliest manifestation of pathological age-related conditions, such as AD. Particularly in

1365

the early stages of the disease, it is difficult to distinguish the AD pathology (i.e., EM impairments) from normal

1366

age-related memory impairments. In the first stages of the disease (i.e., MCI), the entorhinal cortex and its

1367

associated structures in the anterior MTL are affected (Hirni et al., 2013). The AD lesions progress to the parietal

1368

cortex and neocortex,and then affect the frontal lobe. Thus, the brain areas that sub-serve residual EM shift from

1369

the limbic to the neocortical structures as the AD-related cognitive impairment becomes more severe. Deficits in

1370

EM are already present in patients with MCI, potentiallyreflecting the first symptoms of disease.Thus, even if

1371

activities of daily living are preserved, EM impairments could constitute an important early marker that

1372

neurologists might use to identify individuals at higher risk for developing AD.

1373

Going forward, the challenge will be to further advance our understanding of the biological and

1374

psychological aspects of memory in normal aging, such that specific lifestyle changes (e.g., an exercise regimen

1375

and dietary supplements) and pharmacological treatments can be recommended to middle-aged and older adults,

1376

in the hopes of supporting satisfactory memory performance and relatively independent living well into the ninth

1377

and tenth decades of life. Successful treatments would presumably be those that increase the recruitment of

36

1378

additional neural networks to support declining networks whose functions have become inefficient and/or noisy.

1379

This may arise through the multiple mechanisms of neural plasticity that continue to function in older adulthood.
