Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease marked by deficits in
episodic memory, working memory (WM), and executive function. Examples of executive …

Abstract “The Scaffolding Theory of Aging and Cognition (STAC)”, proposed in 2009, is a
conceptual model of cognitive aging that integrated evidence from structural and functional …

Healthy aging has been associated with decreased specialization in brain function. This
characterization has focused largely on describing age-accompanied differences in …

Age-related cognitive changes often include difficulties in retrieving memories, particularly
those that rely on personal experiences within their temporal and spatial contexts (ie …

A substantial corpus of evidence suggests that the cognitive involvement in postural control
and gait increases with aging. A large portion of such studies were based on dual-task …

Is it possible to enhance neural and cognitive function with cognitive training techniques?
Can we delay age-related decline in cognitive function with interventions and stave off …

There are declines with age in speed of processing, working memory, inhibitory function,
and long-term memory, as well as decreases in brain structure size and white matter …

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 …

A consistent finding from functional neuroimaging studies of cognitive aging is an age-
related reduction in occipital activity coupled with increased frontal activity. This posterior …

The present study performed a quantitative meta-analysis of functional MRI studies that used
a subsequent memory approach. The meta-analysis considered both subsequent memory …
