• Exercising Your Brain: A Review of Human Brain Plasticity and Training-Induced Learning (2008, positive): “Yet, several recent reviews and meta-analyses (Colcombe & Kramer, 2003; Etnier, Nowell, Landers, & Sibley, 2006; Hillman et al., 2008; Kramer & Erickson, 2007) have demonstrated that across studies, designs, and dependent measures, older adults that perform aerobic activity exhibit enhanced…”
• Aerobic Fitness is Associated With Hippocampal Volume in Elderly Humans (2009, positive): “Participation in physical and aerobic activities is one method that might prevent neural and cognitive decline among older adults (Kramer and Erickson, 2007).”
• tDCS-enhanced motor and cognitive function in neurological diseases (2014, positive): “…pharmacological interventions, strategies for non-pharmacological enhancement including cognitive training (Jean et al., 2006), physical activity (Kramer and Erickson, 2007), or nutrition supplements (Janssen et al., 2010) as well as noninvasive brain stimulation techniques like tDCS and TMS…”
