Previous research demonstrates that infants and adults plan their actions across multiple steps. They adj... Read More about Two-step actions in infancy—the TWAIN model.

Changes in presynaptic calcium signalling accompany age-related deficits in hippocampal LTP and cognitive impairment (2019)
Journal Article
Pereda, D., Al-Osta, I., Okorocha, A., Easton, A., & Hartell, N. (2019). Changes in presynaptic calcium signalling accompany age-related deficits in hippocampal LTP and cognitive impairment. Aging Cell, 18(5), Article e13008. https://doi.org/10.1111/acel.13008

The loss of cognitive function accompanying healthy aging is not associated with extensive or characteristic patterns of cell death, suggesting it is caused by more subtle changes in synaptic properties. In the hippocampal CA1 region, long‐term poten... Read More about Changes in presynaptic calcium signalling accompany age-related deficits in hippocampal LTP and cognitive impairment.

Language as a Tool: Motor Proficiency Using a Tool Predicts Individual Linguistic Abilities (2019)
