Working memory (WM) functioning declines in old age. Due to its impact on many higher-order
cognitive functions, investigating whether training can modify WM performance has …

Age-related alterations in brain structure and function have been challenging to link to
cognition due to potential overlapping influences of multiple neurobiological cascades. We …

The striatum and connected cortical areas have been implicated in sequence learning (SL)
tasks, in which performance increments are gradual and learning typically occurs in the …

D1 and D2 dopamine receptors (D1DRs and D2DRs) may contribute differently to various
aspects of memory and cognition. The D1DR system has been linked to functions supported …

In an fMRI study, 20 younger and 20 healthy older adults were scanned while performing a
spatial working-memory task under two levels of load. On a separate occasion, the same …

Intraindividual variability (IIV) reflects within-person changes in performance, such as trial-by-trial
fluctuations on a reaction-time (RT) task. The neural underpinnings of IIV remain …

Research suggests that the striatum plays an important role in implicit learning (IL). The
striatum exhibits marked age-related morphological and neurochemical losses. Yet, behavioral …

The finding of reduced functional MRI (fMRI) activity in the default mode network (DMN)
during externally focused cognitive control has been highly influential to our understanding of …

The desire to train complex machine learning algorithms and to increase the statistical power
in association studies drives neuroimaging research to use ever-larger datasets. The most …
