A common source of variance (i.e., "general intelligence") underlies an individual's performance across diverse tests of cognitive ability, and evidence indicates that the processing efficacy of working memory may serve as one such source of common variance. One component of working memory, selective attention, has been reported to co-vary with gen...

... Here, we found that SKF-38393 application potentiated the EPSCs in neurons from control and CPZtreated mice. Moreover, several studies showed that D1R-like agonists stimulate c-Fos reactivity in the mPFC [69][70][71] and other brain areas expressing D1R, such as the hypothalamus [51,72]. In this work, we demonstrated that CPZ pretreatment impairs the SKF-38393-induced transcriptional activity. ...
... This is at least what suggests a study [47] who showed in mices that exercise combined with a sequence of enriched environment yielded an approximately 30% greater increase in new neurons than either stimulus alone. On their side, Smith and colleagues [48] reported that exercise combined with cognitive training resulted in a greater cognitive improvement in mices than either stimulus alone, thus suggesting that adaptations reported by Fabel et al. [47] may have functional consequences on these animals. Results are more equivocal in humans, since recent narrative reviews [49][50][51], systematic reviews [52][53][54], and meta-analyses [55][56][57][58][59] have reported conflicting results. ...
