Morphological and microstructural brain changes induced by cognitive training among non-demented participants: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Key Points

• To evaluate whether cognitive training induces morphological and microstructural brain changes in non-demented individuals.
• Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis
• Comparative study of training groups versus control conditions
• Evaluated objective markers related to brain changes
• Training groups showed no significant brain changes compared to controls
• Current evidence is insufficient to recommend cognitive training as a preventive method
• Future research requires better randomization and standardized techniques
