We review research on the neural efficiency hypothesis of intelligence, stating that brighter
individuals display lower (more efficient) brain activation while performing cognitive tasks …

The discovery that experience-driven changes in the human brain can occur from a neural to
a cortical level throughout the lifespan has stimulated a proliferation of research into how …

Human attentional control is unrivaled. We recently proposed that adults depend on distinct
frontoparietal and cinguloopercular networks for adaptive online task control versus more …

Police officers were compared with community members in terms of the speed and accuracy
with which they made simulated decisions to shoot (or not shoot) Black and White targets …

Although training-induced changes in brain activity have been previously examined,
plasticity associated with executive functions remains understudied. In this study, we …

In everyday life, we often focus greater attention on behaviorally relevant stimuli to limit the
processing of distracting events. For example, when distracting voices intrude upon a …

The present study investigated the neural correlates of cognitive fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis
(MS), looking specifically at the relationship between self-reported fatigue and objective …

Marijuana is the most widely used illicit substance among teenagers, yet little is known
about the possible neural influence of heavy marijuana use during adolescence. We …

The present meta-analytic study examined brain activation changes following working
memory (WM) training, a form of cognitive training that has attracted considerable interest …

Data from brain-damaged and neurologically intact populations indicate hemispheric
asymmetries in the temporo-parietal cortex for discriminating an object's global form (eg the …
