    • A call for comparative effectiveness research to learn whether routine clinical care decisions can protect from dementia and cognitive decline 

      Dacks, Penny A.; Armstrong, Joshua J.; Brannan, Stephen K.; Carman, Aaron J.; Green, Allan M.; Kirkman, M. Sue; Krakoff, Lawrence R.; Kuller, Lewis H.; Launer, Lenore J.; Lovestone, Simon; Merikle, Elizabeth; Neumann, Peter J.; Rockwood, Kenneth; Shineman, Diana W.; Stefanacci, Richard G.; Velentgas, Priscilla; Viswanathan, Anand; Whitmer, Rachel A.; Williamson, Jeff D.; Fillit, Howard M. (BioMed Central, 2016)
      Common diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation are probable risk factors for dementia, suggesting that their treatments may influence the risk and rate of cognitive and functional decline. Moreover, ...

    • Cognitive status impacts age-related changes in attention to novel and target events in normal adults. 

      Daffner, Kirk R.; Chong, Hyemi; Riis, Jenna; Rentz, Dorene May; Wolk, David A.; Budson, Andrew E.; Holcomb, Phillip J. (American Psychological Association (APA), 2007)
      In this study, the authors investigated the relationship between the cognitive status of normal adults and age-related changes in attention to novel and target events. Old, middle-age, and young subjects, divided into ...

    • Compensatory neural activity distinguishes different patterns of normal cognitive aging 

      Riis, Jenna L.; Chong, Hyemi; Ryan, Katherine K.; Wolk, David A.; Rentz, Dorene May; Holcomb, Phillip J.; Daffner, Kirk R. (Elsevier BV, 2008)
      Most cognitive neuroscientific research exploring the nature of age-associated compensatory mechanisms has compared old adults (high vs. average performers) to young adults (not split by performance), leaving ambiguous ...

    • Does compensatory neural activity survive old-old age? 

      Daffner, Kirk R.; Sun, Xue; Tarbi, Elise C.; Rentz, Dorene May; Holcomb, Phillip J.; Riis, Jenna L. (Elsevier BV, 2011)
      One mechanism that may allow older adults to continue to successfully perform certain cognitive tasks is to allocate more resources than their younger counterparts. Most prior studies have not included individuals beyond ...
