Musical training, neuroplasticity and cognition [PDF]

Dementia & Neuropsychologia, 2010
Abstract The influence of music on the human brain has been recently investigated in numerous studies. Several investigations have shown that structural and functional cerebral neuroplastic processes emerge as a result of long-term musical training, which in turn may produce cognitive differences between musicians and non-musicians.

Association between time of assessment within a school year and physical fitness of primary school children

Scientific Reports
The dissociation of effects of age, time of assessment and cohort is a well-known challenge in developmental science. We examined effects of time of assessment in the school year on children’s physical fitness using data from 75,362 German third-graders ...

Stressors affect human motor timing during spaceflight

npj Microgravity
Crewed outer-space missions require adequate motor capacity among astronauts, whose sensorimotor system is disturbed by microgravity. Stressors other than microgravity, e.g., sleep loss, confinement, and high workload, characterize the living experience ...

Is Cognitive Training Worth It? Exploring Individuals’ Willingness to Engage in Cognitive Training

Journal of Cognitive Enhancement, 2019
We assessed how much time individuals would be willing to spend engaging in game-based cognitive training to gain prolonged functional independence. In Study 1 (N = 294), participants completed a survey with questions assessing how much time they would be willing to invest in daily cognitive training to extend their functional independence by certain ...

Beyond the Document: A Single‐Center Qualitative Study of Survivorship Care Plan Barriers and Opportunities Across Pediatric Oncology Stakeholders

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivorship care plans (SCPs) summarize cancer treatment and guide risk‐based follow‐up for cancer survivors, yet remain difficult to create, share, and use. Stakeholder perspectives are needed to inform usable approaches.

Hemodynamic response alteration as a function of task complexity and expertise - An fNIRS study in jugglers

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
Detailed knowledge about online brain processing during the execution of complex motor tasks with a high motion range still remains elusive. The aim of the present study was to investigate the hemodynamic responses within sensorimotor networks as well as

Cognitive Training for Psychiatric Disorders [PDF]

Neuropsychopharmacology, 2012
Psychiatric disorders are associated with impairments in neural system activity and connectivity across distributed networks that underlie cognition and social–emotional processes. Increasing evidence indicates that these neural system dysfunctions are not immutably fixed, but instead may be amenable to well-designed cognitive training interventions ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
