Dynamic range of frontoparietal functional modulation is associated with working memory capacity limitations in older adults

JG Hakun, NF Johnson - Brain and cognition, 2017 - Elsevier

reduced range of functional modulation during WM task performance compared to younger …

Dynamic range in BOLD modulation: lifespan aging trajectories and association with performance

KM Kennedy, MA Boylan, JR Rieck, CM Foster… - Neurobiology of …, 2017 - Elsevier
Alteration of dynamic range of modulation to cognitive difficulty has been proposed as a

Reduced modulation of BOLD variability as a function of cognitive load in healthy aging

JR Rieck, B DeSouza, G Baracchini, CL Grady - Neurobiology of Aging, 2022 - Elsevier
