Social interactions help group-living organisms cope with socio-environmental challenges
and are central to survival and reproductive success. Recent research has shown that social …

As it was established that aging is not associated with massive neuronal loss, as was
believed in the mid‐20th Century, scientific interest has addressed the influence of aging on …

Neuronal homeostasis prevents hyperactivity and hypoactivity. Age-related hyperactivity
suggests homeostasis may be dysregulated in later life. However, plasticity mechanisms …

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 …

The processing of multisensory signals is crucial for effective interaction with the
environment, but our ability to perform this vital function changes as we age. In the first part …

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 …

Electrophysiological studies indicate that a decline of GABAergic inhibition in the visual
cortex may underlie age-related degradation of visual function [AG Leventhal, Y. Wang, M …

Inhibitory interneurons comprise only about 20% of cortical neurons and thus constitute a
clear minority compared to the vast number of excitatory projection neurons. They are …

The ability to accurately perceive the direction and speed of moving objects declines during
normal aging. This is likely due to functional degradation of cortical neurons. Most neurons …

Background In this study, we quantified age-related changes in the time-course of face
processing by means of an innovative single-trial ERP approach. Unlike analyses used in …
