The suggestion that neurofunctional reorganization may contribute to preserved language
abilities is still emerging in aging studies. Some of these abilities, such as verbal fluency …

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 …

Research on language and aging typically shows that language comprehension is
preserved across the life span. Recent neuroimaging results suggest that this good …

As we age, our ability to select and to produce words changes, yet we know little about the
underlying neural substrate of word-finding difficulties in old adults. This study was designed …

Introduction Older adults often show declines in phonological aspects of language
production, particularly for low‐frequency words, but maintain strong semantic systems …

Older adults typically show decline in a variety of cognitive functions including inhibitory
control and language production, with corresponding age-related increases in fMRI …

It is widely assumed that cognitive functions decline with age and that these decrements are
associated with age-related changes in patterns of functional activity. However, these …

The topological organization of the brain, governed by the capacity of brain regions to
synchronize their activity, allows for cost-effective performance during everyday cognitive …

The neural basis of word-retrieval deficits in normal aging has rarely been assessed and the
few previous functional imaging studies found enhanced activity in right prefrontal areas in …

Although widespread neural atrophy is an inevitable consequence of normal aging, not all
cognitive abilities decline as we age. For example, spoken language comprehension tends …
