Alzheimer9s disease (AD) not only involves loss of memory functions, but also prominent
deterioration of sleep physiology, which is already evident at the stage of mild cognitive …

As the process of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) begins years before disease onset, searching
for prevention strategies is of major medical and economic importance. Nutritional …

Sleep-related consolidation of declarative memories, as well as associated neurophysiological
events such as slow oscillatory and spindle activity, deteriorate in the course of aging. …

Strategies for memory enhancement, especially for the older population, are of great scientific
and public interest. Here, we aimed at investigating neuronal and behavioral effects of …

Background Previous studies have demonstrated an enhancement of hippocampal-dependent
declarative memory consolidation, associated slow wave sleep (SWS) and slow wave …

The relationship between brain structure, cortical physiology, and learning ability in older
adults is of particular interest in understanding mechanisms of age-related cognitive decline. …

Background: Associative object-location memory (OLM) is known to decline even in normal
aging, and this process is accelerated in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Given …

Study Objectives Aging is associated with detrimental changes in sleep physiology, a process
accelerated in Alzheimer’s disease. Fine-tuned temporal interactions of non-rapid eye …

White matter deterioration in the aging human brain contributes to cognitive decline. The
fornix as main efferent hippocampal pathway is one of the tracts most strongly associated with …

Neural mechanisms of behavioral improvement induced by repeated transcranial direct
current stimulation (tDCS) combined with cognitive training are yet unclear. Previously, we …
