Age-related neural dedifferentiation–reductions in the selectivity and precision of neural
representations–contributes to cognitive aging and is thought to result from age increases in …

Healthy aging is associated with a multitude of structural changes in the brain. These
physical age-related changes are accompanied by increased variability in neural activity of …

Increasing age is associated with age-related neural dedifferentiation, a reduction in the
selectivity of neural representations, which has been proposed to contribute to cognitive …

One important factor contributing to age-related memory decline is the loss of distinctiveness
with which information is represented in brain activity. This loss in neural selectivity may be …

Neural dedifferentiation, the finding that neural representations tend to be less distinct in
older adults compared with younger adults, has been associated with age-related declines …

Neural activation patterns in the ventral visual cortex in response to different categories of
visual stimuli (eg, faces vs. houses) are less selective, or distinctive, in older adults than in …

The aging brain is characterized by neural dedifferentiation, an apparent decrease in the
functional selectivity of category-selective cortical regions. Age-related reductions in neural …

Slowing is a common feature of ageing, yet a direct relationship between neural slowing and
brain atrophy is yet to be established in healthy humans. We combine …

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 …

Humans sometimes do perceive differences where physically there are none. It is thus
tenable that perception is susceptible to seemingly random fluctuations in brain activity or …
