For half a century, we have known that some patients experience neurocognitive dysfunction
after cardiac surgery, yet defining its incidence, course, and causes remains challenging …

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an innovative and promising
neuroimaging modality for studying brain activity in real-world environments. While fNIRS …

The combination of repeated behavioral training with transcranial direct current stimulation
(tDCS) holds promise to exert beneficial effects on brain function beyond the trained task …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC)
can modulate working memory (WM) performance. However, evidence regarding the …

Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has shown potential as an
effective aid to facilitate learning. A popular application of this technology has been in …

Working memory (WM) is a fundamental cognitive ability that supports complex thought but
is limited in capacity. Thus, WM training interventions have become very popular as a means …

Healthy aging is associated with numerous deficits in cognitive function, which have been
attributed to changes within the prefrontal cortex (PFC). This chapter summarizes some of …

Background Working memory, a fundamental short-term cognitive process, is known to
decline with advanced age even in healthy older adults. Normal age-related declines in …

Working memory (WM) is a fundamental cognitive ability to support complex thought, but it is
limited in capacity. WM training has shown the potential benefit for those in need of a higher …

Despite considerable interest in enhancing, preserving, and rehabilitating working memory
