Enhancing Cognition in Older Adults With Intermittent Hypoxia and Cognitive Training

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a neuroplasticity-based computerized cognitive training for the elderly

The overall objective of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of daily acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (dAIH), coupled with massed practice training, to improve upper-extrem...

This project seeks to investigate the effects of a single acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) session on respiratory and non-respiratory motor function and EMG (electromyography) activity on ...

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effectiveness of a combinatorial therapy of breathing low oxygen in short bursts-acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) and upper limb tr...

This study will utilize short duration and mild levels of reduced oxygen (hypoxia) to induce spinal plasticity while evaluating the appropriate timing schedule for this intervention, as we...

Computerized multi-model training has been widely studied for its effect on delaying cognitive decline. In this study, we designed the first Chinese-version computer-based multi-model cognitive traini...

The synergistic effects of HIV and aging on the brain may compromise cognitive reserve, resulting in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder. The neuroscience literature suggests that computerized cogn...

Computerized cognitive training in young adults with depressive symptoms: Effects on mood, cognition, and everyday functioning.

Computerized cognitive training (CCT) has previously improved cognition and mood in people with depression. Existing research has not determined if the benefits following CCT are specific to the conte...

Cognitive impairment is highly prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF), negatively impacting self-care and consequently increasing mortality. Although computerized cognitive training (CCT) has b...

Roles of oestradiol receptor alpha and beta against hypertension and brain mitochondrial dysfunction under intermittent hypoxia in female rats.

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) induces systemic (hypertension) and central (mitochondrial dysfunction underlying cognitive deficits). We hypothesized that agonists of oestradiol receptors (ER) α ...

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions

National Institute On Aging (u.s.)

Component of the NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH. Through basic and clinical biomedical research and training, it conducts and supports research into the nature of the aging process and diseases associated with the later stages of life. The Institute was established in 1974.

Cognitive Aging

Phenomenon that occurs when learning and memory abilities decrease naturally due to age.

Skin Aging

The process of aging due to changes in the structure and elasticity of the skin over time. It may be a part of physiological aging or it may be due to the effects of ultraviolet radiation, usually through exposure to sunlight.

Hypoxia-inducible Factor-proline Dioxygenases

Dioxygenase enzymes that specifically hydroxylate a PROLINE residue on the HYPOXIA-INDUCIBLE FACTOR 1, ALPHA SUBUNIT. They are OXYGEN-dependent enzymes that play an important role in mediating cellular adaptive responses to HYPOXIA.

Training Support

Financial support for training including both student stipends and loans and training grants to institutions.
