abstract = {The functional specificity of brain areas is diminished
with age and accompanied by the recruitment of additional
brain regions in healthy older adults. This process has
repeatedly been demonstrated within distinct functional
domains, in particular the visual system. However, it is yet
unclear, whether this phenomenon in healthy aging, i.e., a
reduced activation of task-associated areas and increased
activation of additional regions, is also present across
different functional systems. In the present functional
imaging study, comprising 102 healthy subjects, we therefore
assessed two distinct tasks engaging the sensory-motor
system and the visual attention system, respectively. We
found a significant interaction between age and task in the
parietal operculum bilaterally. This area as a part of the
sensory-motor system showed an age-related decrease in its
BOLD-response to the motor task and an age-related increase
of neural activity in response to the visual attention task.
The opposite response pattern, i.e., reduced visual
attention activation and increased response to the motor
task, was observed for regions associated with the visual
task: the superior parietal area 7A and the dorsal pre-motor
cortex. Importantly, task performance was not correlated
with age in either task. This age-by-task interaction
indicates that a reduction of functional specificity in the
aging brain may be counteracted by the increased recruitment
of additional regions not only within, but also across
functional domains. Our results thus emphasize the need for
comparisons across different functional domains to gain a
better understanding of age-related effects on the
specificity of functional systems.},
