... proteins and lipids in brain cells. Enhanced levels of oxidized macromolecules exert neurotoxic effects that could lead to disturbances in neuronal functioning and cognitive skills. Objective: This study aims to investigate a possible relation between oxidative stress and learning deficits during aging...

... simply cannot understand interactive computing technology. (6) You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. The problem of HCI for older people is that they do not learn to use new technologies and interaction techniques. In discussing these myths, we demonstrate that each one contains a grain of truth...

... throughout life, its levels decrease steadily along with aging. Notwithstanding some evidence that in age-matched animals neurogenesis levels and learning performance are tightly associated, these two parameters do not appear to be directly coupled when comparing individuals of various age groups. Additional...

...S. Uchida; I. Fukuchi; S. Kato; M. Nakahiro; H. Yoshida The effects of blockade of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) in rat cerebral cortex on learning and memory were studied by the use of passive and active avoidance tests. Injection of propylbenzilylcholine mustard (PrBCM) into frontal...

...Bernard Soumireu-Mourat Many brain modifications have been described in ageing: cognitive functions, learning ability and memory retention decline very frequently. It is not clear whether the observed deficits are related to alterations in memory processes (short- or long-term memory), in memory...

...M. Le Porcin Lafitte; J.R. Rapin Memory loss and similar cognitive associated dysfunctions are commonly recognized as being the most serious symptoms of ageing and dementia. In this work, a deterioration of cognitive function which is appreciated in old rats (learning test in a maze – or, in aged...

Direct correlational studies on learning and memory in relation to cell loss in the same subject are not feasible in man and they have not been reported previously...

These test series were designed to furnish both an intsantaneous evaluation of the individual in relation to a group and a longitudinal evaluation of his abilities. Rather than assessing the mnesic capital, the test series evaluate the dynamic forms...

Objective: The present study links these two pathways of cognitive aging research by examining the association between short-term (learning, practice) versus long-term (development) changes in processing speed. Methods: Data from 963 elderly participants come from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam...
