Abstract

Given that increased DMN connectivity in elderly adults is associated with better performance on tasks of executive functioning, our results of increased connectivity of the DMN post exercise training suggest that aerobic fitness training may be one pathway through which we can mitigate age-related decline in executive functioning.
