Age differences in resting state EEG and their relation to eye movements and cognitive performance
2021, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :Our data showed this pattern of age deficits in cognitive performance and additionally our parietal alpha asymmetry measure showed a significant relation to forwards spatial span scores in a regression model which disappeared after accounting for age. A variety of literature links parietal activity to visuospatial processing including working memory (e.g., Zago and Tzourio-Mazoyer, 2002; Klingberg et al., 2002) and pointing (Hagler et al., 2007), which is used in the spatial span task. The eye-tracking data did not replicate existing research which typically shows larger age deficits for inhibitory demanding antisaccades compared to prosaccades (Abel and Douglas, 2007; Peltsch et al., 2011), although we did find a general age deficit in saccadic performance and this was numerically larger for antisaccade accuracy than for prosaccade accuracy as shown in Fig. 2.

2018, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Multiple areas across the PFC have been implicated in a range of broad executive functions including working memory (Curtis and D’Esposito, 2003; Owen et al., 2005), planning (Owen, 1997), flexibility (Armbruster et al., 2012; Leber et al., 2008), language comprehension (Ferstl et al., 2008), reasoning (Donoso et al., 2014; Krawczyk et al., 2011), and decision making (Keuken et al., 2014). Observed parietal CEN areas are also associated with a dorsal attention network and regions within the superior and inferior parietal lobules support a range of processes including learning (Sarma et al., 2016), visuospatial working memory (Zago and Tzourio-Mazoyer, 2002), congruency in space, time, and number sense (Riemer et al., 2016), calculation (Arsalidou and Taylor, 2011; Dehaene et al., 2003), metacognitive monitoring of information retrieval (Elman et al., 2012), and visual attention (Behrmann et al., 2004; Blankenburg et al., 2010; Duncan, 2006). The convergent activation within CEN and salience networks identified in the global problem solving analysis suggests the areas and their associated cognitive functions, as influenced by bottom-up signals mediated by aIC, play critical roles in problem solving across content domains.
