(2017)[ES] Resultado de los cambios sociodemográficos, la población mundial está experimentando un progresivo envejecimiento, el cual, incrementa la probabilidad de que la independencia se vea comprometida. En los últimos años, ... -
Adult Sox2+ stem cell exhaustion in mice results in cellular senescence and premature aging
(Wiley, 2018-08-20)Aging is characterized by a gradual functional decline of tissues with age. Adult stem and progenitor cells are responsible for tissue maintenance, repair, and regeneration, but during aging, this population of cells is ... -
Age-related changes in brain activity are specific for high order cognitive processes during successful encoding of information in working memory
(Frontiers Media, 2015)Memory capacity suffers an age-related decline, which is supposed to be due to a generalized slowing of processing speed and to a reduced availability of processing resources. Information encoding in memory has been ... -
Age-related effects on event-related brain potentials in a congruence/incongruence judgment color-word Stroop task
(Frontiers Media, 2014)We examined the event-related brain potentials elicited by color-word stimuli in a Stroop task in which healthy participants (young and old) had to judge whether the meaning and the color of the stimulus were congruent or ... -
Algunos imaginarios sociales de la vejez. Obsevaciones sobre datos de internet
(2012-04-30)Tradición e innovación son dos procesos sometidos a los tipos de sociedades y constituyen, junto con los procesos de inclusión/exclusión, el eje de la evolución de una sociedad. En la experiencia de la nuestra parecen ... -

Effects of aging and involuntary capture of attention on event-related potentials associated with the processing of and the response to a target stimulus
(Frontiers Media, 2014)The main aim of the present study was to assess whether aging modulates the effects of involuntary capture of attention by novel stimuli on performance, and on event-related potentials (ERPs) associated with target ... -
Effects of Cognitive Reserve on Cognitive Performance in a Follow-Up Study in Older Adults With Subjective Cognitive Complaints. The Role of Working Memory
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Objective: Analyze the effects of CR on cognitive performance in adults with subjective cognitive complaints at follow-up. Method: We analyzed the factorial structure of the three constructs defined in cognitive performance ... -
Event-Related Potentials Reveal Altered Executive Control Activity in Healthy Elderly With Subjective Memory Complaints
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Several studies reported that healthy elderly with subjective memory complaints (SMC) evolve to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) more frequently than elderly without subjective memory decline. In the present study, we investigated ... -
Interaction between angiotensin type 1, type 2, and mas receptors to regulate adult neurogenesis in the brain ventricular–subventricular zone
(MDPI, 2019)The renin–angiotensin system (RAS), and particularly its angiotensin type-2 receptors (AT2), have been classically involved in processes of cell proliferation and maturation during development. However, the potential role ... -
