Neuroanatomical substrates involved in true and false memories for face

► Neural substrates of false memory for face have been investigated by using fMRI. ► Morphed face pictures successfully induced false memory in an MRI environment. ► Amygdala activity was associated with familiarity for false and true memories of faces. ► Anterior cingulate cortex played a role in false memory condition. ► Parahippocampal activation did not distinguish true and false memories for face.
