Introduction Short-term memory poses a significant challenge, involving complex processes of image perception, formation, and execution. However, the mechanisms underlying storage, execution short-term remain poorly understood. Methods In this study, 41 healthy college students participated in challenge test designed to investigate these processes. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was employed measure dynamic changes hemoglobin concentrations specific cortical regions, while facial expressions vital signs were recorded real-time during tests. Results The results revealed heightened activity inferior prefrontal gyrus, visual association cortex, pre-motor supplementary motor cortex. connectivity between regions significantly enhanced tasks, inter-group differences decreased over time. Participants with superior exhibited lower levels negative emotional higher heart rates compared those weaker performance. These findings suggest that interconnectivity adequate cerebral blood oxygenation play critical roles enhancing capacity. This has important implications for education, as it highlights strategies cultivating attention, training skills, improving integration abilities.

This perspective article addresses the potential use of cortical excitability (CE) as an indicator cognitive health in aging people. Changes CE may be considered a sign resilience to decline old age. The authors describe research on and its link function older adults emphasize that it is promising, non-invasive measure healthy aging. They also address current challenges implementation, need for standardized measurement protocols possible future avenues research. If properly considered, could pave way early detection facilitate targeted interventions promote resilience.

The Four-dimensional (spatiotemporal) Consistency of local Neural Activities (FOCA) metric was utilized to assess spontaneous whole-brain activity. Despite its application, the genetic underpinnings FOCA alterations in Alzheimer's Disease (AD)-related Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) remain largely unexplored. To elucidate these changes, we analyzed group differences 41 MCI patients and 46 controls from Neuroimaging Initiative database. Integrating Allen Human Brain Atlas, performed transcriptome-neuroimaging spatial association analyses pinpoint genes correlating with MCI-related changes. We observed heightened frontal-parietal system diminished temporal lobe medium cingulate gyrus among patients. These were spatially linked expression 384 genes, which enriched crucial molecular functions, biological processes, cellular components cerebral cortex, as well related pathways. specifically expressed brain tissue corticothalamic neurons, particularly during late cortical development. They also connected various behavioral domains. Furthermore, could form a protein-protein interaction network, supported by 34 hub genes. Our results suggest that spatiotemporal consistency activity may stem complex interplay broad spectrum diverse functional features.

To compare the relative efficacy of different exercise modalities on working memory accuracy and reaction time in healthy children adolescents. A systematic review network meta-analysis was conducted accordance with PRISMA guidelines (CRD420251005303). PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials, Web Science were searched from inception to March 1, 2025. Randomized controlled trials examining impact any intervention (e.g., aerobic exercise, dance, high-intensity interval training, sports games, mixed exercise) versus control and/or eligible. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated, a random-effects model applied account for between-study heterogeneity. The surface under cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) used determine each modality. Thirty-three studies met inclusion criteria accuracy, eight contributed data time. Dance demonstrated highest SUCRA (87.8%), significantly superior (SMD = 0.67, CI 0.13 1.21). Aerobic ranked first (93.6%), outperforming -0.40, -0.69 -0.11 accuracy; SMD -0.82, -1.26 -0.38 compared exercise). Mixed consistently showed lower rankings both outcomes. Distinct differentially affect components young populations. appear most beneficial-dance maximizes while optimizes Tailoring interventions specific cognitive targets may enhance development inform practical, evidence-based strategies educational clinical settings.
