Working memory training using mental calculation impacts regional gray matter of the frontal and parietal regions.

Working memory training using mental calculation impacts regional gray matter of the frontal and parietal regions.

Training working memory (WM) improves performance on untrained cognitive tasks and alters functional activity. However, WM training's effects on gray matter morphology and a wide range of cognitive tasks are still unknown. We investigated this issue using voxel-based morphometry (VBM), various...
