Are age-related changes in cognitive function driven by age-related changes in sensory processing?
Although there has been keen interest in the association among measures of sensory function and cognitive function for many years, in general, measures of sensory function have been confined to one or two senses and measures of threshold sensitivity (acuity). In this study, rigorous psychophysical measures of threshold sensitivity, temporal gap detection, temporal order identification, and temp...
متن کاملAccelerated age-related cognitive decline and neurodegeneration, caused by deficient DNA repair.
Age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases are a growing challenge for our societies with their aging populations. Accumulation of DNA damage has been proposed to contribute to these impairments, but direct proof that DNA damage results in impaired neuronal plasticity and memory is lacking. Here we take advantage of Ercc1(Δ/-) mutant mice, which are impaired in DNA nucleotide ...
متن کاملAge-related changes in posture control are differentially affected by postural and cognitive task complexity.
The simple postural task of quiet standing, which requires minimal attentional resources, is generally paired with cognitive activity. Competition for attentional resources is a consequence of simultaneously performing balance tasks and cognitive tasks, and impairment of attentional resource allocation with aging leads to increased risks of fall. We investigated age-related changes in posture c...
متن کاملHow Localized Are Age-Related Effects on Neuropsychological Measures?
A battery of neuropsychological tests (e.g., Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Trail Making Test, Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised Block Design, Object Assembly, and Digit Symbol tests) was administered to 259 adults ages 18 to 94 who reported themselves to be in good to excellent health. Moderate age-related declines were apparent in performance measures...
متن کاملAge-related differences in white matter integrity and cognitive function are related to APOE status
While an extensive literature is now available on age-related differences in white matter integrity measured by diffusion MRI, relatively little is known about the relationships between diffusion and cognitive functions in older adults. Even less is known about whether these relationships are influenced by the apolipoprotein (APOE) ε4 allele, despite growing evidence that ε4 increases cognitive...
