We know how age affects the brain during lab-based tasks, but what about situations truer to everyday life, such as watching movies? We measured functional magnetic resonance imaging activity while participants (N = 577) from the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (www.cam-can.com) watched...
