Integrating health into cognitive aging: toward a preventive cognitive neuroscience of aging.
OBJECTIVES We argue that age is a descriptive, and not explanatory, variable and consequently cannot account for the cognitive changes that often occur with aging. Once age is removed from consideration, other truly causal explanations for "cognitive aging" must be identified. We argue that health and disease represent an important class of explanatory variables for age-related cognitive change...
متن کاملCognitive neuroscience of aging.
The number of reports on the cognitive neuroscience of aging has increased in recent years, and most of these studies have found many similarities in the patterns of activity in young and old adults, indicating that basic neural mechanisms are maintained into older age. Despite these overall similarities, older adults often have less activity in some regions, such as medial temporal areas durin...
متن کاملCognitive Neuroscience of Aging: Linking Cognitive and Cerebral Aging
This book is divided into four main sections. The first section describes noninvasive measures of cerebral aging, including structural (e.g., volumetric MRI), chemical (e.g., dopamine PET), electrophysiological (e.g., ERPs), and hemodynamic (e.g., fMRI), and discusses how they can be linked to behavioral measures of cognitive aging. The second section reviews evidence for the effects of aging o...
