Healthy aging (HA) is associated with certain declines in cognitive functions, even in
individuals that are free of any process of degenerative illness. Functional magnetic …

The availability of neuroimaging technology has spurred a marked increase in the human
cognitive neuroscience literature, including the study of cognitive ageing. Although there is a …

Cognitive control is defined by a set of neural processes that allow us to interact with our
complex environment in a goal-directed manner. Humans regularly challenge these control …

Aging affects functional connectivity between brain areas, however, a complete picture of
how aging affects integration of information within and between functional networks is …

Episodic memory and working memory decline with advancing age. Nevertheless, large-
scale population-based studies document well-preserved memory functioning in some older …

Human brain function undergoes complex transformations across the lifespan. We
employed resting-state functional MRI and graph-theory approaches to systematically chart …

There are declines with age in speed of processing, working memory, inhibitory function,
and long-term memory, as well as decreases in brain structure size and white matter …

Physical activity has been shown to improve cognitive functioning. Research has largely
focused on cognitive facilitation by cardiovascular exercise in older adults. Only few studies …

Maintaining a healthy brain is a critical factor for the quality of life of elderly individuals and
the preservation of their independence. Challenging aging brains through cognitive training …

A consistent finding from functional neuroimaging studies of cognitive aging is an age-
related reduction in occipital activity coupled with increased frontal activity. This posterior …
