Study Summary
The current study will investigate methods for enhancing cognitive training (CT) effects in healthy older adults by employing a combination of interventions facilitating neural plasticity and optimizing readiness for learning. Adults over the age of 65 represent the fastest growing group in the US population. As such, age-related cognitive decline represents a major concern for public health. Recent research suggests that cognitive training in older adults can improve cognitive performance, with effects lasting up to 10 years. However, these effects are typically limited to the tasks trained, with little transfer to other cognitive abilities or everyday skills. A pilot randomized clinical trial will examine the individual and combined impact of pairing cognitive training with an intermittent hypoxia (IH) intervention. The investigators will compare changes in cognitive and brain function resulting from CT combined with active IH versus CT combined with sham IH using a comprehensive neurocognitive, clinical, and multimodal neuroimaging assessment of brain structure, function, and metabolic state. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) will be used to assess brain response during speed of processing; the active cognitive abilities trained by CT. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) will assess cerebral metabolites, including ATP and GABA concentrations sensitive to neural plasticity.
