  • Revitalizing old age: impact of a cognitive stimulation programme on emotional wellbeing and cognitive-executive functioning in older adults from Tacna, Peru (2026) · Frontiers in Public Health · doi

    There is a lack of evidence on the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation programmes in improving cognitive-executive functioning in older adults. - There is a need for community-based interventions to address cognitive decline in older adults.

  • Multimodal EEG and explainable machine learning characterize neuroticism-related neurodynamic heterogeneity in mild cognitive impairment during visuospatial working memory (2026) · Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience · doi

    The study identifies a gap in the current understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive decline in individuals with mild cognitive impairment and elevated neuroticism. - The study highlights the need for further research on the role of neuroticism in cognitive decline. - The study suggests that personalized interventions for cognitive decline may be developed based on the study's findings.

  • Quantifying the added value of foot-controlled force variables in predicting mild cognitive impairment (2026) · Scientific Reports · doi

    Existing approaches for early detection of cognitive decline remain limited by cost, scalability, or concerns about their validity. - Lower-extremity force control capacities are a largely unexplored area for improving prediction of cognitive status in older adults.
