Musculoskeletal pain is a cause of disability in older individuals and is commonly associated
with executive function deficits. In particular, verbal fluency deficits have been previously …

Verbal fluency tasks are generally thought to be mediated by frontal brain regions for letter
fluency and temporal regions for category fluency. This idea, however, is primarily based on …

Verbal fluency (VF) impairments occur early in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and to a lesser
extent also in normal aging. However, the neural underpinnings of these impairments are …

While progressive neurocognitive impairments are associated with aging and Alzheimer's
disease (AD), cortical reorganization might delay difficulties in effortful word retrieval, which …

Objective: The precuneus is 1 of the major cortical hubs and plays an important role in
normal aging and verbal fluency processing. The main aim of present study was to …

Verbal fluency has been widely studied in cognitive aging. However, compensatory
mechanisms that maintain its optimal performance with increasing age are not completely …

The maintenance of a high level of performance in aging has often been associated with
changes in cerebral activations patterns for various cognitive components. However …

Objective: Late-life depression is prevalent among older adults and the presence of
depressive symptoms has been shown to be associated cross-sectionally with worse verbal …

Despite their widespread use in research and clinical practice, the cognitive abilities
purportedly assessed by different verbal fluency task variants remain unclear and may vary …

Background: Verbal Fluency (VF) tasks are known as multimodal measures clinically useful
