Enhancing brain plasticity: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy evidence for computerized working memory training in healthy adults
Collectively, these findings indicate that AWMT can not only effectively enhance cognitive abilities but also induce profound functional remodeling of the prefrontal network by strengthening resting-state network integration and optimizing task-state brain resource allocation. This study provides new evidence for understanding the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive training and highlights the utility of fNIRS as a powerful tool for tracking dynamic changes in brain plasticity.
