This study investigates how brain health and cardiorespiratory fitness influence age-related word-finding failures in older adults using neuroimaging and fitness data.

This study uses MEG to show that alpha band activity in left-lateralized language regions modulates during syntactic binding, reflecting neural mechanisms of syntax composition.

This study shows that short-term and long-term structural priming are supported by different non-declarative memory components, with age-related changes observed in long-term priming and conceptual memory.

This study examines age-related differences in syntactic planning and lexical retrieval during sentence production, finding preserved syntactic facilitation but disrupted lexical access in older adults.

This study finds age-related decline in syntactic comprehension in healthy aging, with slower and less accurate error detection in older adults, especially when semantic information is absent.

The paper examines the relationship between aerobic fitness and language decline in healthy older adults, finding that higher fitness levels are associated with fewer tip-of-the-tongue states.
