RESUMO

Several brain regions in the frontal, occipital and medial temporal lobes are known to contribute to spatial information processing. In contrast, the oscillatory patterns contributing to allocentric spatial working memory maintenance are poorly understood, especially in humans. Here, we tested twenty-three 21- to 32-year-old and twenty-two 64- to 76-year-old healthy right-handed adults in a real-world, spatial working memory task and recorded electroencephalographic (EEG) activity during the maintenance period. We established criteria for designating recall trials as perfect (no errors) or failed (errors and random search) and identified 8 young and 13 older adults who had at least 1 perfect and 1 failed trial amongst 10 recall trials. Individual alpha frequency-based analyses were used to identify oscillatory patterns during the maintenance period of perfect and failed trials. Spectral scalp topographies showed that individual theta frequency band relative power was stronger in perfect than in failed trials in the frontal midline and posterior regions. Similarly, gamma band (30-40 Hz) relative power was stronger in perfect than in failed trials over the right motor cortex. Exact low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography in the frequency domain identified greater theta power in perfect than in failed trials in the secondary visual area (BA19) and greater gamma power in perfect than in failed trials in the right supplementary motor area. The findings of this exploratory study suggest that theta oscillations in the occipital lobe and gamma oscillations in the secondary motor cortex (BA6) play a particular role in successful allocentric spatial working memory maintenance.
