Adult age differences in functional connectivity during executive control.
(Neuroimage, 2010-08-15)Task switching requires executive control processes that undergo age-related decline. Previous neuroimaging studies have identified age-related differences in brain activation associated with global switching effects (dual-task ... -
Age mediation of frontoparietal activation during visual feature search.
(Neuroimage, 2014-11-15)Activation of frontal and parietal brain regions is associated with attentional control during visual search. We used fMRI to characterize age-related differences in frontoparietal activation in a highly efficient feature ... -
Age-related differences in frontoparietal activation for target and distractor singletons during visual search.
(Attention, perception & psychophysics, 2023-04)Age-related decline in visual search performance has been associated with different patterns of activation in frontoparietal regions using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), but whether these age-related effects ... -
Age-related differences in resolving semantic and phonological competition during receptive language tasks.
(Neuropsychologia, 2016-12)Receptive language (e.g., reading) is largely preserved in the aging brain, and semantic processes in particular may continue to develop throughout the lifespan. We investigated the neural underpinnings of phonological and ... -
Age-related differences in the neural bases of phonological and semantic processes in the context of task-irrelevant information.
(Cognitive, affective & behavioral neuroscience, 2019-08)As we age we have increasing difficulty with phonological aspects of language production. Yet semantic processes are largely stable across the life span. This suggests a fundamental difference in the cognitive and potentially ... -
Age-related differences in the neural bases of phonological and semantic processes.
(Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 2014-12)Changes in language functions during normal aging are greater for phonological compared with semantic processes. To investigate the behavioral and neural basis for these age-related differences, we used fMRI to examine younger ... -
Age-related preservation of top-down control over distraction in visual search.
(Experimental aging research, 2010-07)Visual search studies have demonstrated that older adults can have preserved or even increased top-down control over distraction. However, the results are mixed as to the extent of this age-related preservation. The present ... -
Association between increased magnetic susceptibility of deep gray matter nuclei and decreased motor function in healthy adults.
(Neuroimage, 2015-01-15)In the human brain, iron is more prevalent in gray matter than in white matter, and deep gray matter structures, particularly the globus pallidus, putamen, caudate nucleus, substantia nigra, red nucleus, and dentate nucleus, ... -
Brain connectivity and visual attention.
(Brain connectivity, 2013-01)Emerging hypotheses suggest that efficient cognitive functioning requires the integration of separate, but interconnected cortical networks in the brain. Although task-related measures of brain activity suggest ... -
Cerebral white matter connectivity, cognition, and age-related macular degeneration.
(NeuroImage. Clinical, 2021-02-23)Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common retina disease associated with cognitive impairment in older adults. The mechanism(s) that account for the link between AMD and cognitive decline remain unclear. Here we ... -
Cerebral White Matter Mediation of Age-Related Differences in Picture Naming Across Adulthood.
(Neurobiology of language (Cambridge, Mass.), 2022-03)As people age, one of the most common complaints is difficulty with word retrieval. A wealth of behavioral research confirms such age-related language production deficits, yet the structural neural differences that relate ... -
Changes in Brain Resting-state Functional Connectivity Associated with Peripheral Nerve Block: A Pilot Study.
(Anesthesiology, 2016-08)BACKGROUND: Limited information exists on the effects of temporary functional deafferentation (TFD) on brain activity after peripheral nerve block (PNB) in healthy humans. Increasingly, resting-state functional connectivity ... -
Cocaine dependence does not contribute substantially to white matter abnormalities in HIV infection.
(Journal of neurovirology, 2017-06)This study investigated the association of HIV infection and cocaine dependence with cerebral white matter integrity using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). One hundred thirty-five participants stratified by HIV and cocaine ... -
Cognitive and neural contributors to emotion regulation in aging.
(Social cognitive and affective neuroscience, 2011-04)Older adults, compared to younger adults, focus on emotional well-being. While the lifespan trajectory of emotional processing and its regulation has been characterized behaviorally, few studies have investigated the underlying ... -
Cortical iron mediates age-related decline in fluid cognition.
(Human brain mapping, 2022-02)Brain iron dyshomeostasis disrupts various critical cellular functions, and age-related iron accumulation may contribute to deficient neurotransmission and cell death. While recent studies have linked excessive brain iron ... -
Diffusion tensor imaging of cerebral white matter integrity in cognitive aging.
(Biochimica et biophysica acta, 2012-03)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 mechanisms defined from DTI analyses ... -

Effects of adult age and blood pressure on executive function and speed of processing.
(Experimental aging research, 2010-04)Previous research has established that the effects of chronically increased blood pressure (BP) on cognition interact with adult age, but the relevant cognitive processes are not well defined. In this cross-sectional study, ... -
Frontoparietal activation during visual conjunction search: Effects of bottom-up guidance and adult age.
(Hum Brain Mapp, 2017-04)We conducted functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with a visual search paradigm to test the hypothesis that aging is associated with increased frontoparietal involvement in both target detection and bottom-up attentional ... -
Functional brain connectivity and cognition: effects of adult age and task demands.
(Neurobiology of aging, 2013-08)Previous neuroimaging research has documented that patterns of intrinsic (resting state) functional connectivity (FC) among brain regions covary with individual measures of cognitive performance. Here, we examined the relation ...
