Greater neural differentiation in the ventral visual cortex is associated with youthful memory in superaging
Superagers are older adults who maintain youthful memory despite advanced age. Previous
studies showed that superagers exhibit greater structural and intrinsic functional brain …

Youthful brains in older adults: preserved neuroanatomy in the default mode and salience networks contributes to youthful memory in superaging
Decline in cognitive skills, especially in memory, is often viewed as part of “normal” aging.
Yet some individuals “age better” than others. Building on prior research showing that …

Stronger functional connectivity in the default mode and salience networks is associated with youthful memory in superaging
Abstract “Superagers” are older adults who, despite their advanced age, maintain youthful
memory. Previous morphometry studies revealed multiple default mode network (DMN) and …

Superior memory and higher cortical volumes in unusually successful cognitive aging
TM Harrison, S Weintraub, MM Mesulam… - Journal of the …, 2012 - cambridge.org
It is “normal” for old age to be associated with gradual decline in memory and brain mass.
However, there are anecdotal reports of individuals who seem immune to age-related …

Age differences in neural distinctiveness revealed by multi-voxel pattern analysis
Current theories of cognitive aging argue that neural representations become less distinctive
in old age, a phenomenon known as dedifferentiation. The present study used multi-voxel …

Sensory representations supporting memory specificity: Age effects on behavioral and neural discriminability
CR Bowman, JD Chamberlain… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Older adults' difficulty in distinguishing between old and new information contributes to
memory decline, which may occur because older adults are less likely than young adults to …

Age-related dedifferentiation and hyperdifferentiation of perceptual and mnemonic representations
Preliminary evidence indicates that occipito-temporal activation patterns for different visual
stimuli are less distinct in older (OAs) than younger (YAs) adults, suggesting a …

Socio-cognitive profiles for visual learning in young and older adults
It is common wisdom that practice makes perfect; but why do some adults learn better than
others? Here, we investigate individuals' cognitive and social profiles to test which variables …
