Brain cells normally respond adaptively to bioenergetic challenges resulting from ongoing
activity in neuronal circuits, and from environmental energetic stressors such as food …

The structure of the brain is constantly changing from birth throughout the lifetime, meaning
that normal aging, free from dementia, is associated with structural brain changes. This …

Electromagnetic source characterisation requires accurate volume conductor models
representing head geometry and the electrical conductivity field. Head tissue conductivity is …

Voxel-based-morphometry (VBM) is a whole-brain, unbiased technique for characterizing
regional cerebral volume and tissue concentration differences in structural magnetic …

Cerebral white matter (WM) degeneration occurs with increasing age and is associated with
declining cognitive function. Research has shown that cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise …

As we grow older, we may grow wiser, but we can also experience memory loss and
cognitive slowing that can interfere with our daily routines. The cognitive neuroscience of …

Creating a healthy, social classroom environment. This book explains how the brain, as a
social organism, learns best throughout the lifespan, from our early schooling through late …

Age-related loss of brain tissue has been inferred from cross-sectional neuroimaging
studies, but direct measurements of gray and white matter changes from longitudinal studies …

A hypothetical model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a uniquely human brain disorder
rooted in its exceptional process of myelination is presented. Cortical regions with the most …

Imaging studies of cerebral volumes often adjust for factors such as age that may confound
between-subject comparisons. However the use of nuisance covariates in imaging studies is …
