>The patients received computerized working memory training 30 minutes per session, five sessions a week for four weeks. N-Back task including two single-tasks (A and B) and one dual-task (C) and three conditions (1-back, 2-back and 3-back) were designed. (...) Significant improvements in neuropsychological n-back test and RSPM (Raven's Progressive Matrices, remark of author) test at 4 weeks after intervention, and significant increased activations were observed in the left MOG and MFG, accompanied by decreased activations in the right cerebellum anterior lobe and the sub-gyral of the right frontal lobe.
Conclusion: WMT resulted in an ctivation redistribution pattern of brain activiation after training: the conclusion needs further confirmation by increasing the homogeneity of the patient group.

Good news. I wonder if similar improvements are possible for healthy individuals.
