Abstract

Social statistical information is the quantitative description of social phenomenon, which is widely used in our daily life. However, the neural activity during encoding and retrieval of social statistical information remains unclear. We examined this issue in an fMRI study by measuring the brain activity of 36 normal subjects. The tasks consisted of encoding and retrieval the social statistical information visually presented in three forms: text, statistical graph and statistical graph with text. At encoding, subjects were required to try to read and comprehend the meaning of social statistical information presented in any of the three forms; at retrieval, they were asked to make judgments in regard to the content of reading comprehension. The direct comparison between encoding and retrieval showed that encoding more significantly activated the limbic lobe than retrieval; in contrast, retrieval significantly activated the sub-lobar than encoding. The results suggest that the limbic lobe is more involved in memory encoding of social statistical information, whereas the sub-lobar is more involved in memory retrieval.
