A critical evaluation of systematic reviews assessing the effect of chronic physical activity on academic achievement, cognition and the brain in children and adolescents: a systematic review
(2020-06)
Background
International and national committees have started to evaluate the evidence for the effects of physical activity on neurocognitive health in childhood and adolescence to inform policy. Despite an increasing ...
Sleep duration over 28 years, cognition, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure: a prospective cohort study
(2020-01)
Study Objectives
To examine the association between sleep duration trajectories over 28 years and measures of cognition, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure. We hypothesize that consistently meeting sleep ...
Prediction of brain age and cognitive age: quantifying brain and cognitive maintenance in aging
(2020-06)
The concept of brain maintenance refers to the preservation of brain integrity in older age, whilecognitive reserverefers to the capacity to maintain cognition in the presence of neurodegeneration or aging-related brain ...
Associations Between Longitudinal Trajectories of Cognitive and Social Activities and Brain Health in Old Age
(2020-08)
Importance Prior neuroimaging studies have found that late-life participation in cognitive (eg, reading) and social (eg, visiting friends and family) leisure activities are associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...
A common neural network architecture for visual search and working memory
(2020-09)
Visual search and working memory (WM) are tightly linked cognitive processes. Theories of
attentional selection assume that WM plays an important role in top-down guided visual search.
However, computational models of ...
The Oxford Cognitive Screen – Plus (OCS-Plus): A digital, tablet-based, brief cognitive assessment
(2020-10)
Here, we present the Oxford Cognitive Screen-Plus, a computerised tablet-based screen designed to briefly assess domain-general cognition and provide more fine-grained measures of memory and executive function. The OCS-Plus ...
The effects of an aerobic training intervention on cognition, grey matter volumes and white matter microstructure
(2020-05)
While there is strong evidence from observational studies that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of cognitive decline and dementia, the extent to which aerobic training interventions impact on cognitive ...
The Oxford Cognitive Screen – Plus (OCS-Plus): a tablet based short cognitive screening tool for milder cognitive impairment.
(2020-02)
The Oxford Cognitive Screen was developed as a brief screening tool for common
post-stroke focal cognitive deficits, including language, memory, attention, praxis, and
number-processing impairments. Here, we present the ...
Cognitive Performance, Quality and Quantity of Movement Reflect Psychological Symptoms in Adolescents
(2020-05)
The presentation of unhealthy psychological symptoms are rising
sharply in adolescents. Detrimental lifestyle behaviours are proposed
as both possible causes and consequences. This study set
out to compare selected ...
Effect of glucose and sucrose on cognition in healthy humans: a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventional studies
(2020-06)
Context: Evidence suggests that plasma glucose levels may influence cognitive performance, but this has not been systematically reviewed and quantified. Objective: The aim of this review was to investigate the potential ...
