Age-related response speed deficits arise from specific impairments in sensory evidence accumulation rate
(2021-11)Older adults exposed to enriched environments (EE) maintain relatively higher levels of cognitive function, even in the face of compromised markers of brain health. Response speed (RS) is often used as a simple proxy to ... -
Associations Between Longitudinal Trajectories of Cognitive and Social Activities and Brain Health in Old Age
(2020-08)Importance Prior neuroimaging studies have found that late-life participation in cognitive (eg, reading) and social (eg, visiting friends and family) leisure activities are associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ... -
A critical evaluation of systematic reviews assessing the effect of chronic physical activity on academic achievement, cognition and the brain in children and adolescents: a systematic review
(2020-06)Background International and national committees have started to evaluate the evidence for the effects of physical activity on neurocognitive health in childhood and adolescence to inform policy. Despite an increasing ... -
Delineating between-subject heterogeneity in alpha networks with Spatio-Spectral Eigenmodes
(2021-10)Between subject variability in the spatial and spectral structure of oscillatory networks can be highly informative but poses a considerable analytic challenge. Here, we describe a data-driven modal decomposition of a ... -
Déjà-vu? Neural and behavioural effects of the 5-HT 4 receptor agonist, prucalopride, in a hippocampal-dependent memory task
(2021-10)Cognitive deficits commonly accompany psychiatric disorders but are often underrecognised, and difficult to treat. The 5-HT4 receptor is a promising potential treatment target for cognitive impairment because in animal ... -
Effect of glucose and sucrose on cognition in healthy humans: a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventional studies
(2021-02)Evidence suggests that plasma glucose levels may influence cognitive performance, but this has not been systematically reviewed and quantified. Objective: The aim of this review was to investigate the potential effects of ... -
Individual variation in brain microstructural-cognition relationships in aging
(2021-02)While all individuals are susceptible to age-related cognitive decline, significant inter- and intra-individual variability exists. However, the sources of this variation remain poorly understood. Here, we examined the ... -
Introducing the tablet-based Oxford Cognitive Screen-Plus (OCS-Plus) as an assessment tool for subtle cognitive impairments
(2021-04)Here, we present the Oxford Cognitive Screen-Plus, a computerised tablet-based screen designed to briefly assess domain-general cognition and provide more fine-grained measures of memory and executive function. The OCS-Plus ... -
Prediction of brain age and cognitive age: quantifying brain and cognitive maintenance in aging
(2020-06)The concept of brain maintenance refers to the preservation of brain integrity in older age, whilecognitive reserverefers to the capacity to maintain cognition in the presence of neurodegeneration or aging-related brain ...
