Many cognitive abilities decline with age even in the absence of detectable pathology.
Recent evidence indicates that age-related neural dedifferentiation, operationalized in terms …

Aging and acoustic trauma may result in partial peripheral deafferentation in the central
auditory pathway of the mammalian brain. In accord with homeostatic plasticity, loss of …

Current theories of cognitive aging argue that neural representations become less distinctive
in old age, a phenomenon known as dedifferentiation. The present study used multi-voxel …

Random dot cinematograms were used to probe motion perception in human observers
ranging from 23 to 81years of age. Stimuli were either broadband directional Noise, which …

Age‐related declines in vision can have a major impact on the health and well‐being of an
older population. A review of research on aging and vision indicates that these declines …

Background Perceptual learning has been documented in adult humans over a wide range
of tasks. Although the often-observed specificity of learning is generally interpreted as …

Ventral–visual activity in older adults has been characterized by dedifferentiation, or
reduced distinctiveness, of responses to different categories of visual stimuli such as faces …

While the percentage of older people in our society is steadily increasing, knowledge about
perceptual changes during healthy aging is still limited. We investigated age effects on …

The present study examined age-related differences in multisensory integration and the role
of attention in age-related differences in multisensory integration. The sound-induced flash …

Brain plasticity is maximal at specific time windows during early development known as
critical periods (CPs), during which sensory experience is necessary to establish optimal …
