Brain structure and cognitive ability in healthy aging: a review on longitudinal correlated change
Little is still known about the neuroanatomical substrates related to changes in specific
cognitive abilities in the course of healthy aging, and the existing evidence is predominantly …

The developmental trajectories of executive function from adolescence to old age
Executive functions demonstrate variable developmental and aging profiles, with protracted
development into early adulthood and declines in older age. However, relatively few studies …

Dietary blueberry improves cognition among older adults in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
Purpose As populations shift to include a larger proportion of older adults, the necessity of
research targeting older populations is becoming increasingly apparent. Dietary …

Ageing and Switching of the Focus of Attention in Working Memory: Results from a Modified N-Back Task
We conducted two experiments using a modified version of the N-Back task. For younger
adults, there was an abrupt increase in reaction time of about 250 ms in passing from N= 1 …
