“…Additionally, memory function is well described as a distributed process (Mesulam, 1990), and the brain substrates and modifiers of this process are highly variable, particularly in a cognitive aging context (Braskie, et al, 2010, Head, et al, 2008, Raz and Rodrigue, 2006, Verhaeghen, et al, 1993). Vascular risk factors, diabetes, and level of physical activity, sleep duration, and sleep quality have all been linked to brain structure and function necessary for supporting memory processes (den Heijer, et al, 2003, Goel, et al, 2009, Guzman, et al, 2013, Harrison and Horne, 2000, Honea, et al, 2009, Mander, et al, 2013, Raz and Rodrigue, 2006, Voss, et al, 2010, Zlokovic, 2011).…”
