Effect of increasing cognitive activity participation on default mode network in older adults with subjective cognitive decline: a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Having more cognitive activities may prevent dementia, but its evidence of modulating the functional brain network is limited. This randomised controlled trial (RCT) investigated the effect of increased cognitive activity participation on the default mode network (DMN) in older adults who had already been having regular cognitive activity participation and experiencing subjective cognitive decline (SCD).
