Effects of aging on cerebral oxygenation during working-memory performance: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study.

Working memory is sensitive to aging-related decline. Evidence exists that aging is accompanied by a reorganization of the working-memory circuitry, but the underlying neurocognitive mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we examined aging-related changes in prefrontal activation during working-memo...
