NCT ID NCT03969043
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the brain processes emotional images in healthy aging. Researchers used MRI scans to compare brain activity in younger adults (18-45) and older adults (60-85) while they judged emotions or imagined actions. The goal was to understand why older adults may focus more on positive than negative emotions.
