Cognition arises as a result of coordinated processing among distributed brain regions and
disruptions to communication within these neural networks can result in cognitive …

In this article we review recent research on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of white matter
(WM) integrity and the implications for age-related differences in cognition. Neurobiological …

Implicit skill learning underlies obtaining not only motor, but also cognitive and social skills
through the life of an individual. Yet, the ontogenetic changes in humans' implicit learning …

When learning a new motor sequence, we must execute the correct order of movements
while simultaneously optimizing sensorimotor parameters such as trajectory, timing, velocity …

Cognitive processing slows with age. We sought to determine the importance of white matter
integrity, assessed by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), at influencing cognitive processing …

As the world's population ages, a deeper understanding of the relationship between aging
and motor learning will become increasingly relevant in basic research and applied settings …

The default mode network (DMN) is one of the most studied resting-state networks, and is
thought to be involved in the maintenance of consciousness within the alert human brain …

The rise in the global population of older adults underscores the significance to investigate
age-related cognitive disorders and develop early treatment modalities. Previous research …

Behavioral studies indicate that older adults exhibit normal motor sequence learning (MSL),
but paradoxically, show impaired consolidation of the new memory trace. However, the …

The cognitive deterioration associated with aging is accompanied by structural alterations
and loss of functionality of the frontostriatal dopamine system. The question arises how such …
