Functional neuroplasticity of facilitation and interference effects on inhibitory control ...

Summary

The article investigates neuroplasticity's role in cognitive function during aging, focusing on the effects of a 12-week exercise intervention. Utilizing neuroimaging, the study examines brain activity and cognitive control in young and older adults, specifically in tasks influenced by the Numerical Stroop effect, observing changes in the frontal lobe related to executive functions. Results suggest exercise enhances neuroplasticity and cognitive performance, with differences noted between age groups. The findings contribute to cognitive neuroscience, particularly within the domains of neuropsychology, network neuroscience, and aging brain research.
