Neural degeneration is a hallmark of healthy aging and can be associated with specific
cognitive impairments. However, neural degeneration per se is not matched by unremitting …

Human neuroimaging research on cognitive aging has brought significant advances to our
understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying age-related cognitive decline and …

What is the neurocognitive basis for the considerable individual differences observed in
functioning of the adult mind and brain late in life? We review the evidence that in healthy …

Age-related cognitive declines are common and inevitable, but life trajectories of brain and
cognitive functions are variable and plastic. To identify the mechanisms of decline, the …

Cognitive ageing research examines the cognitive abilities that are preserved and/or those
that decline with advanced age. There is great individual variability in cognitive ageing …

Aging is associated with progressive losses in function across multiple systems, including
sensation, cognition, memory, motor control, and affect. The traditional view has been that …

The most unexpected and intriguing result from functional brain imaging studies of cognitive
aging is evidence for age-related overactivation: greater activation in older adults than in …

While aging is an important risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's
disease and Parkinson's disease, age-related cognitive decline can also manifest without …

A reduction in cognitive resources has been originally proposed to account for age-related
decrements in several cognitive domains. According to this view, aging limits the pool of …

There is evidence for cognitive as well as neural plasticity across the adult life span,
although aging is associated with certain constraints on plasticity. In the current paper, we …
