The most unexpected and intriguing result from functional brain imaging studies of cognitive
aging is evidence for age-related overactivation: greater activation in older adults than in …

There is evidence for cognitive as well as neural plasticity across the adult life span,
although aging is associated with certain constraints on plasticity. In the current paper, we …

Most cognitive neuroscientific research exploring the nature of age-associated
compensatory mechanisms has compared old adults (high vs. average performers) to young …

Cognitive ageing research examines the cognitive abilities that are preserved and/or those
that decline with advanced age. There is great individual variability in cognitive ageing …

The number of reports on the cognitive neuroscience of aging has increased in recent years,
and most of these studies have found many similarities in the patterns of activity in young …

As the population ages, the need for effective methods to maintain or even improve older
adults' cognitive performance becomes increasingly pressing. Here we provide a brief …

According to prominent theories of aging, the brain may reorganize to compensate for neural
deterioration and prevent or offset cognitive decline. A frequent and striking finding in …

Cognitive neuroimaging studies often report that older adults display more activation of
neural networks relative to younger adults, referred to as overactivation. Greater or more …

Aging is typically related to changes in brain and cognition, but the aging process is
heterogeneous and differs between individuals. Recent research has started investigating …

Cognitive neuroscience has revealed aging of the human brain to be rich in reorganization
and change. Neuroimaging results have recast our framework around cognitive aging from …
