1. 01

   Effects of cognitive training interventions with older adults: a randomized controlled trial.

   JAMA·2002·n=2,832200 influential citations

   <h4>Context</h4>Cognitive function in older adults is related to independent living and need for care. However, few studies have addressed whether improving cognitive functions might have short- or long-term effects on activities related…

2. 02

   Computerized cognitive training in cognitively healthy older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of effect modifiers.

   PLoS medicine·2014·n=4,885200 influential citations

   <h4>Background</h4>New effective interventions to attenuate age-related cognitive decline are a global priority. Computerized cognitive training (CCT) is believed to be safe and can be inexpensive, but neither its efficacy in enhancing…

3. 03

   The impact of cognitive training and mental stimulation on cognitive and everyday functioning of healthy older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

   Ageing research reviews·2014·n=1,806139 influential citations

   This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the impact of cognitive training and general mental stimulation on the cognitive and everyday functioning of older adults without known cognitive impairment. We examine transfer and…

4. 04

   Can training in a real-time strategy video game attenuate cognitive decline in older adults?

   Psychology and aging·2008·n=20129 influential citations

   Declines in various cognitive abilities, particularly executive control functions, are observed in older adults. An important goal of cognitive training is to slow or reverse these age-related declines. However, opinion is divided in the…

5. 05

   Memory enhancement in healthy older adults using a brain plasticity-based training program: a randomized, controlled study.

   Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America·2006127 influential citations

   Normal aging is associated with progressive functional losses in perception, cognition, and memory. Although the root causes of age-related cognitive decline are incompletely understood, psychophysical and neuropsychological evidence…

6. 06

   Physical activity and memory functions: an interventional study.

   Neurobiology of aging·2011119 influential citations

   Previous studies have suggested beneficial effects of physical activity on cognition. Here, we asked in an interventional approach if physical activity performed at different intensity levels would differentially affect episodic memory…

7. 07

   Exergame and Balance Training Modulate Prefrontal Brain Activity during Walking and Enhance Executive Function in Older Adults.

   Frontiers in aging neuroscience·2016·n=33112 influential citations

   Different types of exercise training have the potential to induce structural and functional brain plasticity in the elderly. Thereby, functional brain adaptations were observed during cognitive tasks in functional magnetic resonance…

8. 08

   Cardiovascular and coordination training differentially improve cognitive performance and neural processing in older adults.

   Frontiers in human neuroscience·2011·n=91110 influential citations

   Recent studies revealed a positive influence of physical activity on cognitive functioning in older adults. Studies that investigate the behavioral and neurophysiological effects of type and long term duration of physical training,…

9. 09

   Aerobic exercise improves cognition and motor function poststroke.

   Neurorehabilitation and neural repair·2009·n=1979 influential citations

   <h4>Background</h4>Cognitive deficits impede stroke recovery. Aerobic exercise (AEX) improves cognitive executive function (EF) processes in healthy individuals, although the learning benefits after stroke are unknown.<h4>Objective</h4>To…

    BDNF Responses in Healthy Older Persons&#xa0;to 35 Minutes of Physical Exercise,&#xa0;Cognitive Training, and&#xa0;Mindfulness: Associations with&#xa0;Working Memory Function.

    Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD·2017·n=1969 influential citations

    Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has a central role in brain plasticity by mediating changes in cortical thickness and synaptic density in response to physical activity and environmental enrichment. Previous studies suggest that…
