Dorsolateral Prefrontal Functional Connectivity Predicts Working Memory Training Gains
Abstract: Background: Normal aging is associated with working memory decline. A decrease in working memory performance is associated with age-related changes in functional activation patterns in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Cognitive training can improve cognitive performance in healthy older adults. We implemented a cognitive training study to assess determinants of generalization of training gains to untrained tasks, a key indicator for the effectiveness of cognitive training. We aimed to investigate the association of resting-state functional connectivity (FC) of DLPFC with working memory performance improvement and cognitive gains after the training. Method: A sample of 60...
Cosmic Rays and Particle Physics
Over recent years there has been marked growth in interest in the study of techniques of cosmic ray physics by astrophysicists and particle physicists. Cosmic radiation is important for the astrophysicist because in the farther reaches of the universe. For particle physicists, it provides the opportunity to study neutrinos and very high energy particles of galactic origin. More importantly, cosmic rays constitue the background, and in some cases possibly the signal, for the more exotic unconfirmed hypothesized particles such as monopoles and sparticles. Concentrating on the highest energy cosmic rays, this book describes where they originate, acquire energy, and interact, in accreting neutron stars, supernova remnants, in large-scale shock waves. It also describes their interactions in the atmosphere and in the earth, how they are studied in surface and very large underground detectors, and what they tell us.
Ornamental Crops
Ornamental plants are economically important worldwide. Both growers and consumers ask continuously for new, improved varieties. Although there are numerous ornamental species, ornamental plant breeding and plant breeding research is mainly limited to some major species. This book focuses on the recent advances and achievements in ornamental plant breeding. The first part of the book focuses on plant traits and breeding techniques that are typical for ornamental plants. Eminent research groups write these general chapters. For plant traits like flower colour or shape, breeding for disease resistance and vase or shelf life are reviewed. General technical plant breeding chapters deal with mutation breeding, polyploidisation, in vitro breeding techniques and new developments in molecular techniques. The second part of the book consists of crop-specific chapters. Here all economically major ornamental species are handled together with selected representative species from different plant groups (cut flowers, pot plants, woody ornamental plants). In these crop-specific chapters, the main focus is on recent scientific achievements over the last decade.
Funktionelle Konnektivität des dorsolateralen präfrontalen Cortex als Prädiktor für die Transferleistung des Arbeitsgedächtnisses beim gesunden älteren Menschen
Nach einem kognitiven Training an gesunden älteren Probanden wurde die Eignung der globalen funktionellen Ruhekonnektivität des dorsolateralen präfrontalen Cortex als Prädiktor für die Transferleistung des visuell-räumlichen und verbalen Arbeitsgedächtnisses untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit zeigen, dass selbst nach einem vierwöchigen kognitiven Training Transfereffekte in das Arbeitsgedächtnis möglich sind, was die Annahme für erhaltene neuronale Plastizität im Alter stützt. Die g-rsFC des rechten dlPFC war ein starker Prädiktor für eine Transferleistung des visuellen AG.ger
