Cognitive and motivational selectivity in healthy aging
LT Swirsky, J Spaniol - Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Normal aging is associated with a reduction in the selectivity of cognitive processes such as
attention and memory. This loss of selectivity is attributed to diminished inhibition and …

[HTML][HTML] Isometric exercise facilitates attention to salient events in women via the noradrenergic system
The locus coeruleus (LC) regulates attention via the release of norepinephrine (NE), with
levels of tonic LC activity constraining the intensity of phasic LC responses. In the current …

Noradrenergic responsiveness supports selective attention across the adult lifespan
Selectively attending to relevant information while blocking out distractors is crucial for goal-
directed behavior, yet with advancing age, deficits emerge in attentional selectivity …

Aging impairs reactive attentional control but not proactive distractor inhibition.
Older adults tend to be more prone to distraction compared with young adults, and this age-
related deficit has been attributed to a deficiency in inhibitory processing. However, recent …

The decline in intrinsic connectivity between the salience network and locus coeruleus in older adults: Implications for distractibility
We examined functional connectivity between the locus coeruleus (LC) and the salience
network in healthy young and older adults to investigate why people become more prone to …

Age differences in vulnerability to distraction under arousal.
Aging affects brain circuitry involved in both inhibition and arousal. In this study, we tested
whether older adults are more or less prone to distraction from emotionally arousing events …

Behavioral and fMRI evidence that arousal enhances bottom-up selectivity in young but not older adults
The locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system integrates signals about arousal states
throughout the brain and helps coordinate cognitive selectivity. However, age-related …

The Locus Coeruleus: Where Cognitive and Emotional Processing Meet the Eye
The pupil offers a window into how arousal shapes the way we think, learn, and behave. Yet,
arousal is a complex and multifaceted construct, leaving many open questions about the …
