- 认知科学 认知科学
- 老年学是指老年学的学科.
背景情况:
- 执行功能对认知健康至关重要,特别是在老年人群中.
- 执行功能下降与老年人认知障碍风险增加有关.
- 身体活动 (PA) 与改善的执行功能有关,但机制尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 研究不同年龄段的身体活动和执行功能之间的关系背后的神经机制.
- 为了比较身体活跃与不活跃的年轻人和老年人的执行功能任务期间的大脑激活模式.
主要方法:
- 在41名中国成年人 (21名年轻人,20名老年人) 的横截面研究中,按身体活动水平 (MET-min/week) 分类.
- 功能性磁共振成像 (fMRI) 在执行功能任务 (Flanker,N-back,Switching) 中使用.
- 分析采用了具有定义显著性值的统计参数映射 (SPM).
主要成果:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
7.3K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...
