TL;DR: A noninvasive stimulation protocol is developed to restore neural synchronization patterns and improve working memory in older humans, contributing to groundwork for future drug-free therapeutics targeting age-related cognitive decline.

TL;DR: Recent evidence supporting the proposal that working memory representations are critical during the initial configuration of attentional control settings, but that after those settings are established long-term memory representations play an important role in controlling which perceptual inputs are selected by mechanisms of attention is reviewed.

TL;DR: It is shown that transcranial direct current stimulation of medial–frontal cortex provides causal control over the electrophysiological responses of the human brain to errors and feedback and demonstrates that the functioning of mechanisms of cognitive control and learning can be up- or down-regulated using noninvasive stimulation.

TL;DR: Visual cortical plasticity is impaired in schizophrenia, consistent with hypothesized deficits in N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor function, and patients with greater N1b potentiation decreased their reaction times to target stimuli.

TL;DR: Support is provided for the view that oscillatory activity in the frontal cortex underlies adaptive adjustments in cognitive processing following errors and for the possible development of nonpharmacological treatment alternatives for neuropsychiatric conditions.
