Benefits of a light- intensity bout of exercise on attentional networks functioning by Enrique Sanchis-Navarro, Fernando Gabriel Luna, Juan Lupiáñez, Florentino Huertas

“…Here, we investigated the effect of two different intensities (light vs. vigorous) of acute exercise on attentional performance by using the ANTI-Vea, a behavioral task that simultaneously measures three attentional functions (phasic alertness, orienting, and cognitive control) and the executive and arousal components of vigilance. 30 young (age = 20.93; SD = 1.51 years) physically active participants (21 men and 9 women) completed three experimental sessions: the first one to assess their physical fitness and baseline performance in the ANTI-Vea, and the other two sessions (in counterbalanced order) to assess changes in attentional and vigilance performance after an acute bout of light- intensity vs. vigorous- intensity physical exercise. …”

Investigating dynamic brain functional redundancy as a mechanism of cognitive reserve by Julia Schwarz, Franziska Zistler, Adriana Usheva, Anika Fix, Sebastian Zinn, Juliana Zimmermann, Franziska Knolle, Franziska Knolle, Gerhard Schneider, Rachel Nuttall

“…Multivariate linear regression tested the modulating effect of BFR on the relationship between age-related brain changes and cognitive performance.ResultsPCA revealed three cognitive test components related to episodic, semantic and executive functioning. Increased BFR predicted reduced performance in episodic functioning when considering cortical thickness and GM volume as measures of BC. …”

Cognitive function, sleep characteristics and their relationship in older adults with insomnia and anxiety by Jia Wei, Jin kun Zeng, Ruo bing Qi

“…The wake time after sleep (WASO) monitored by polysomnography was significantly longer than that in patients with simple insomnia disorder, and the duration of N3 and N3% were significantly shorter than that in patients with simple sleep disorder, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Executive function was positively correlated with N3 duration and N3%, naming function was negatively correlated with N1 duration and N1%, and memory was negatively correlated with wake time after sleep (WASO) in insomnia patients with anxiety, (P < 0.05). …”
