This study aimed to elucidate the white matter changes associated with lexical production
(LP) difficulties that typically emerge in middle age, resulting in increased naming latencies …

Research on cognitive aging has established that word-finding ability declines progressively
in late adulthood, whereas semantic mechanism in the language system is relatively stable …

As people age, one of the most common complaints is difficulty with word retrieval. A wealth
of behavioral research confirms such age-related language production deficits, yet the …

Age-related decline in cognitive function has been linked to alterations of white matter and
functional brain connectivity. With regard to language, aging has been shown to be …

The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between age-related white matter
changes, with a specific focus on previously identified language pathways, and language …

Language is a crucial and complex lifelong faculty, underpinned by dynamic interactions
within and between specialized brain networks. Whereas normal aging impairs specific …

Background Increasing life expectancy necessitates the better understanding of the
neurophysiological underpinnings of age-related cognitive changes. The majority of …

Neural structures change with age but there is no consensus on the exact processes
involved. This study tested the hypothesis that white and grey matter in the language …

Healthy aging is associated with a heterogeneous decline across cognitive functions,
typically observed between language comprehension and language production (LP) …

Traditional models hold that the plastic reorganization of brain structures occurs mainly
during childhood and adolescence, leaving adults with limited means to learn new …
