Cognitive aging is often described in the context of loss or decline. Emerging research
suggests that the story is more complex, with older adults showing both losses and gains in …

Functional connectivity (FC), or the statistical interdependence of blood-oxygen dependent
level (BOLD) signals between brain regions using fMRI, has emerged as a widely used tool …

Older adults typically show weaker functional connectivity (FC) within brain networks
compared with young adults, but stronger functional connections between networks. Our …

The effects of age on functional connectivity (FC) of intrinsic connectivity networks (ICNs)
have largely been derived from cross-sectional studies. Far less is known about longitudinal …

Background Between pathologically impaired consciousness and normal consciousness
exists a scarcely researched transition zone, referred to as emergence from minimally …

Anticorrelation between the default network (DN) and dorsal attention network (DAN) is
thought to be an intrinsic aspect of functional brain organization reflecting competing …

Structural brain markers are studied extensively in the field of neurodegeneration, but are
thought to occur rather late in the process. Functional measures such as functional …

Studies examining individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) have
suggested that low WMC individuals have particular deficits in attention control processes …

Working memory, a fundamental cognitive function that is highly dependent on the integrity
of the prefrontal cortex, is known to show age-related decline across the typical healthy adult …

An important characteristic of spontaneous brain activity is the anticorrelation between the
core default network (cDN) and the dorsal attention network (DAN) and the salience network …
