Neural evidence of functional compensation for fluid intelligence in healthy ageing by Ethan Knights, Richard N Henson, Alexa Morcom, Daniel J Mitchell, Kamen A Tsvetanov

“…Functional compensation is a common notion in the neuroscience of healthy ageing, whereby older adults are proposed to recruit additional brain activity to compensate for reduced cognitive function. However, whether this additional brain activity in older participants actually helps their cognitive performance remains debated. …”
