Neurocognitive Plasticity Is Associated with Cardiorespiratory Fitness Following Physical Exercise in Older Adults with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment.
- Psychology, BiologyJournal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
- 2021
Aerobic exercise training may result in functional plasticity of high-order cognitive areas, especially, frontal regions, among older adults at risk of AD and dementia, and cardiorespiratory fitness may be an important mediating factor of the observed changes in neurocognitive functions.
Aerobic Fitness Explains Individual Differences in the Functional Brain Connectome of Healthy Young Adults
- Biology, PsychologyCerebral cortex
