Morphological and microstructural brain changes induced by cognitive training among non-demented participants: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Training groups showed no significant morphological or microstructural modifications compared to control conditions. The current results of objective markers are not powerful enough to recommend cognitive training as a preventive method. Future research should focus on proper randomization, elimination of baseline differences and use standardized techniques. The review was pre-registered with PROSPERO (ID: CRD42023485440).
