"Our findings demonstrate the possibility that we can modulate cognitive tradeoffs to our advantage in certain situations," Allan Snyder, director of the Centre for the Mind at the University of Sydney, told the Guardian.
Nicotinic receptors within the brain bind acetylcholine to modulate cognitive functioning, arousal learning, and memory.
Accordingly, tonic inhibition in the hippocampus appears to modulate cognitive functions [11], [12], [13], [14], [15].
These results highlighted that cognitive strategies may both modulate cognitive abilities and help interpret gender differences.
Epigenetic modifications provide likely candidates to modulate cognitive aging outcomes as both genetic and non-genetic factors impact cognitive status in the elderly.
Testing how different reinforcers can effectively modulate cognitive control will improve future therapeutic intervention in affected patients.
Until now several studies have shown that tDCS can modulate cognitive and behavioral skills associated with the targeted brain area.
While it is known that striatal responses scale with subjective factors influencing the desirability of rewards, it is less clear how expectations and goals might modulate the striatal responses to cognitive feedback during learning.
MtDNA haplogroups might modulate exposure-induced inflammation and oxidative stress responses, which are both critical to determine loss of cognitive function throughout aging.
CGRP might modulate nociceptive transmission [30] and nociceptor function depends on the sensitivity to CGRP [31].
