|
|
| Hearing loss is one of the most common chronic health conditions in older adults that affects 90 per cent of seniors who are 80 years and older. A loss of hearing greatly affects an older adult’s ability to socialize and their quality of life. Older adults even with clinically normal hearing often experience different levels of difficulties in understanding conversations in noisy environments,... |

Inhibitory Processes Exhibit Differential Plasticity and Impact to Fluid Intelligence Among Older Adults
|
| [2016-07-19] |
|
|
|
| As life expectancy increases, aging and cognitive decline becomes inevitable. To tackle this problem, practical interest has been attracted to executive function training, and the plasticity of inhibitory processes was especially highlighted due to its critical contributions to cognitive aging. Theoretically, it is also important to derive empirically the impact of training to untrained abiliti... |

Multi-Voxel Functional Imaging Patterns in the Orbitofrontal Cortex are Associated with Value Processing During the Anticipatory and Consummatory Phases of Monetary Rewards
|
| [2016-07-07] |
|
|
|
| Although the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has long been considered to play an important role in value computation and decision-making, recent neuroanatomical and functional imaging findings from both animal and human studies suggest there is a heterogeneous functional organization and distributed neural representations of values found in the OFC. Unfortunately, these functional patterns are not e... |
