Although connections between cognitive deficits and age-associated brain differences have
been elucidated, relationships with motor performance are less well understood. Here, we …

The structure of the brain is constantly changing from birth throughout the lifetime, meaning
that normal aging, free from dementia, is associated with structural brain changes. This …

Brain aging research relies mostly on cross-sectional studies, which infer true changes from
age differences. We present longitudinal measures of five-year change in the regional brain …

Creating a healthy, social classroom environment. This book explains how the brain, as a
social organism, learns best throughout the lifespan, from our early schooling through late …

Numerous anatomical and brain imaging studies find substantial differences in brain
structure between men and women across the span of human aging. The ability to extend …

The effect of age was investigated in and compared across 16 automatically segmented
brain measures: cortical gray matter, cerebral white matter, hippocampus, amygdala …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the principal method for studying structural age-
related brain changes in vivo. However, previous research has yielded inconsistent results …

In addition to its well-established role in balance, coordination, and other motor skills, the
cerebellum is increasingly recognized as a prominent contributor to a wide array of cognitive …

During the course of normal aging, biological changes occur in the brain that are associated
with changes in cognitive ability. This review presents data from neuroimaging studies of …

There is evidence that the cerebellum is involved in motor learning and cognitive function in
humans. Animal experiments have found structural changes in the cerebellum in response …
