Environmental enrichment is associated with favorable memory-related functional brain activity patterns in older adults Open
Background In humans, environmental enrichment (EE), as measured by the engagement in a variety of leisure activities, has been associated with larger hippocampal structure and better memory function. The present cross-sectional study asse…

Circulating Stress Hormones, Brain Health, and Cognition in Healthy Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Findings and Sex Differences in Age-Well Open
The current study demonstrates the involvement of circulating stress hormones, particularly epinephrine and cortisol, in greater resilience or vulnerability of brain health and cognitive indicators of susceptibility to AD in older adults. …

Circulating stress hormones and multimodal measures of brain and cognition in older adults: Cross‐sectional findings from the AGE‐WELL cohort Open
Background Increased stress, a proposed risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), is associated with increased brain and cognitive vulnerabilities in older populations, which may be different in women and men. Objective To examine cross‐se…

Association between long‐term Environmental Enrichment and Memory‐Related Functional Brain Activity in the DELCODE cohort Open
Background Environmental factors account for a considerable percentage of dementia cases. Studies in animal models have shown that environmental enrichment (EE; i.e., stimuli‐rich housing conditions) has positive effects on brain structure…

Short communication: Lifetime musical activity and resting-state functional connectivity in cognitive networks Open
Background Participation in multimodal leisure activities, such as playing a musical instrument, may be protective against brain aging and dementia in older adults (OA). Potential neuroprotective correlates underlying musical activity rema…

Associations Between Lifetime Musical Activity and Resting‐State Functional Connectivity in Higher‐Order Brain Networks Open
Background Engagement in complex leisure activities, such as playing a musical instrument, may help preserve cognitive and brain health in older age (e.g. Böttcher et al., 2022). In this study, we investigated the associations between leis…

Long-term environmental enrichment is associated with better fornix microstructure in older adults Open
Background Sustained environmental enrichment (EE) through a variety of leisure activities may decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. This cross-sectional cohort study investigated the association between long-term EE in youn…
