Background: Common consequences of a stroke include impaired motor and cognitive function, with both being linked to increased falls and frailty. Intra-individual variability (IIV) of cognitive performance, which refers to the within-person trial-to-trial variation in reaction time during cognitive tasks, may be a useful predictor for falls in older adult ...

Decision-making among prey often involves balancing fitness-related activities, such as foraging and mating, with the need to avoid predation. These trade-offs may be influenced by sex, especially among sexually dimorphic species where males and females face different selection pressures. Consistent with the 'Distracted Male Hypothesis', male Trin ...

Background: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is defined as a self-perceived decline in cognition without objective cognitive impairment and is considered a potential predictor of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, summary-level neuropsychological test scores often fail to detect subtle cognitive changes in this group, making assessments challenging. ...

Background: Cognitive and motor deficits have been found to be important markers of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), a pre-dementia risk state. Recently, aerobic exercise (AE) and cognitive training (CT) interventions significantly improved cognitive and motor function in older adults with MCI. R ...
