Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate whether age-related
differences in episodic memory performance are accompanied by a reduction in the …

Neuroimaging provides for non-invasive evaluation of brain structure and activity and has
been employed to suggest possible mechanisms for cognitive aging in humans. However …

The relationships between age, retrieval-related neural activity, and episodic memory
performance were investigated in samples of young (18–29 yrs), middle-aged (43–55 yrs) …

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, subsequent memory effects (greater activity
for later remembered than later forgotten study items) predictive of associative encoding …

In recent years, several studies have indicated that healthy older adults exhibit a reduction in
mind-wandering compared with young adults. However, relatively little research has …

Cognitive function depends on transcription; however, there is little information linking
altered gene expression to impaired prefrontal cortex function during aging. Young and …

Aging-related episodic memory decline is often attributed to insufficient encoding of new
information, although the underlying neural processes remain elusive. We here tested the …

During cognitive tasks requiring externally directed attention, activation in the default-
network (DN) typically decreases below baseline levels ('deactivation'). Healthy aging is …

The two-component framework of episodic memory (EM) development posits that the
contributions of medial temporal lobe (MTL) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) to successful …

Recent evidence indicates that young adults frequently exhibit task-unrelated thoughts
(TUTs) such as mind-wandering during episodic encoding tasks and that TUTs negatively …
