Cognitive reserve counteracts typical neural activity changes related to ageing
Cespón, Jesús; Chupina, Irina; Carreiras, Manuel (ELSEVIER, 2023)Studies have shown that older adults with high Cognitive Reserve (HCR) exhibit better executive functioning than their low CR (LCR) counterparts. However, the neural processes linked to those differences are unclear. This ... -
Customized Application of tDCS for Clinical Rehabilitation in Alzheimer’s Disease
Rodella, Claudia; Cespón, Jesús; Repetto, Claudia; Pellicciari, Maria Concetta (frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive-behavior deficits, which strongly impact daily-life activities (Weintraub et al., 2012). Currently, the limited efficacy of pharmacological ... -
Effects of Mild Cognitive Impairment on the Event-Related Brain Potential Components Elicited in Executive Control Tasks
Zurrón, Montserrat; Lindín, Mónica; Cespón, Jesús; Cid-Fernández, Susana; Galdo-Álvarez, Santiago; Ramos-Goicoa, Marta; Díaz, Fernando (Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)We summarize here the findings of several studies in which we analyzed the eventrelated brain potentials (ERPs) elicited in participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and in healthy controls during performance of ... -
Event-Related Potentials Reveal Altered Executive Control Activity in Healthy Elderly With Subjective Memory Complaints
Cespón, Jesús; Galdo-Alvarez, Santiago; Díaz, Fernando (Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018)Several studies reported that healthy elderly with subjective memory complaints (SMC) evolve to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) more frequently than elderly without subjective memory decline. In the present study, we investigated ... -
Interventional programmes to improve cognition during healthy and pathological ageing: Cortical modulations and evidence for brain plasticity
Cespón, Jesús; Miniussi, Carlo; Pellicciaria, Maria Concetta (Ageing Research Reviews, 2018)A growing body of evidence suggests that healthy elderly individuals and patients with Alzheimer’s disease retain an important potential for neuroplasticity. This review summarizes studies investigating the modulation of ... -
Is there electrophysiological evidence for a bilingual advantage in neural processes related to executive functions?
Cespón, Jesús; Carreiras, Manuel (Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2020)Over the last two decades, a large number of studies have concluded that bilingualism enhances executive functions. However, other studies have reported no significant results. In addition, it is not clear how bilingualism might ... -
Neural Processing Underlying Executive Functions in Bilinguals: “Heads I Win, Tails You Lose”
Cespón, Jesús (Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021)Many studies have claimed bilingualism strengthens the neural mechanisms that underpin executive functions and enhances cognition in the elderly (Bialystok, 2017). Nevertheless, the field of bilingualism research has ... -
The neurocognitive underpinnings of the Simon effect: An integrative review of current research
Cespón, Jesús; Hommel, Bernhard; Korsch, Margarethe; Galashan, Daniela (Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020)For as long as half a century the Simon task – in which participants respond to a nonspatial stimulus feature while ignoring its position – has represented a very popular tool to study a variety of cognitive functions, ...
