Age-related differences in cortical recruitment and suppression: implications for cognitive performanceRuchika Shaurya Prakash
Department of Psychology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, United States
Behav Brain Res 230:192-200. 2012..This study adds to the existing gamut of aging literature, providing evidence that DMN function is critical to cognitive functioning in older adults...- Aerobic fitness is associated with gray matter volume and white matter integrity in multiple sclerosisRuchika Shaurya Prakash
Department of Psychology, The Ohio State University, USA
Brain Res 1341:41-51. 2010..Taken together, these results suggest that fitness exerts a prophylactic influence on the structural decline observed early on, preserving neuronal integrity in multiple sclerosis, thereby reducing long-term disability... - Age-related differences in the involvement of the prefrontal cortex in attentional controlRuchika Shaurya Prakash
Department of Psychology, The Ohio State University, USA
Brain Cogn 71:328-35. 2009..These results suggest a limitation in older adults' capabilities for flexibly recruiting the attentional network in response to increasing attentional demands... - Physical activity associated with increased resting-state functional connectivity in multiple sclerosisRuchika Shaurya Prakash
