Differences in brain activity at rest among older and younger adults after being exposed to others' suffering. The top image depicts the varying brain activations between 27 older adults and 29 younger adults during rest periods following high emotion (post-HE) and low emotion (post-LE) videos in Experiment 1. The bottom image illustrates the brain regions that respond to rest periods following HE > LE, as well as the overlap of these activations with emotional responses during the HE > LE videos in Experiment 2, with data from 127 older adults.
