Background Age-related decline in cognitive function, such as executive function, is
associated with structural changes in the neural substrates, such as volume reductions in …

Background The present study aimed to provide a basis for future research examining the
neural mechanisms that underlie the beneficial effect of an intervention program, Photo …

Abstract Objective To determine whether Experience Corps (EC), a social service program,
would improve age-vulnerable executive functions and increase activity in brain regions in a …

Population aging has prompted considerable interest in identifying modifiable factors that
may help protect the brain and its functions. Collectively, epidemiological studies show that …

Mounting evidence suggests that enriched mental, physical, and socially stimulating
activities are beneficial for counteracting age‐related decreases in brain function and …

Accumulating evidence suggests that cognitive training (CT) programs may provide healthy
older adults (OAs) with cognitive benefits that are accompanied by alterations in neural …

Purpose Aging is associated with a reduction in brain modularity as well as aspects of
executive function, namely, updating, shifting, and inhibition. Previous research has …

Cross-sectional research has shown that older adults tend to have different frontal cortex
activation patterns, poorer brain structure, and lower task performance than younger adults …

The prefrontal cortex and medial temporal lobe are particularly vulnerable to the effects of
aging. The disconnection between them is suggested to be an important cause of cognitive …

Cognitive training is a popular intervention aimed at attenuating age-related cognitive
decline, however, the effects of this intervention on brain structure and function have not …
