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
BOLD variability, which measures moment-to-moment fluctuations in brain signal, is
sensitive to age differences in cognitive performance. However, the effect of aging on BOLD …

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
Older adults tend to over-activate regions throughout frontoparietal cortices and exhibit a
reduced range of functional modulation during WM task performance compared to younger …

Influence of strenuous physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness on age-related differences in brain activations during varieties of cognitive control

P Skolasinska, C Basak, S Qin - Neuroscience, 2023 - Elsevier

differences in cognitive control, limited research exists on comparing the contributions of …

Both hyper-and hypo-activation to cognitive challenge are associated with increased beta-amyloid deposition in healthy aging: a nonlinear effect

CM Foster, KM Kennedy, MM Horn, DA Hoagey… - Neuroimage, 2018 - Elsevier
Beta-amyloid (Aβ) positive individuals hyper-activate brain regions compared to those not at-

Increasing beta-amyloid deposition in cognitively healthy aging predicts nonlinear change in BOLD modulation to difficulty

KM Kennedy, CM Foster, KM Rodrigue - Neuroimage, 2018 - Elsevier
Recent evidence indicates that the relationship between increased beta-amyloid (Aβ)
deposition and functional task-activation can be characterized by a non-linear trajectory of …

Contributions of white matter connectivity and BOLD modulation to cognitive aging: A lifespan structure-function association study

CE Webb, KM Rodrigue, DA Hoagey, CM Foster… - Cerebral …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The ability to flexibly modulate brain activation to increasing cognitive challenge decreases
with aging. This age-related decrease in dynamic range of function of regional gray matter …

Age-related differences in BOLD modulation to cognitive control costs in a multitasking paradigm: global switch, local switch, and compatibility-switch costs

K Nashiro, S Qin, MA O'Connell, C Basak - Neuroimage, 2018 - Elsevier
It is well documented that older adults recruit additional brain regions compared to those
recruited by younger adults while performing a wide variety of cognitive tasks. However, it is …

Age-related reduction of BOLD modulation to cognitive difficulty predicts poorer task accuracy and poorer fluid reasoning ability

JR Rieck, KM Rodrigue, MA Boylan, KM Kennedy - Neuroimage, 2017 - Elsevier
Aging is associated with reduced resources needed to perform difficult cognitive tasks, but
