ABSTRACT

Spets and Slotnick (in Press) applied activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis to examine sex differences in regional brain activation during long-term memory retrieval. Based on their analyses, each of the eight studies they analyzed showed greater activity for males than females during long-term memory retrieval. These results suggest that analyses of magnetic resonance imaging data should not be collapsed by sex and expand this discussion to the challenge of meta-analysis on studies with small to modest sample sizes in favor of larger imaging studies with more rigorous thresholds.

性别二态性研究在神经影像学中的价值

摘要

Spets 和 Slotnick（正在出版）应用激活似然估计元分析来检查长期记忆检索期间区域大脑激活的性别差异。根据他们的分析，他们分析的八项研究中的每一项都表明，在长期记忆检索期间，男性的活动量大于女性。这些结果表明，磁共振成像数据的分析不应因性别而崩溃，并将这一讨论扩展到对小到中等样本量研究的荟萃分析的挑战，以支持具有更严格阈值的大型成像研究。
