Supekar, Chang, and Mistry et al. investigate behavioral and network-level changes in children after multi-week cognitive training for math problem-solving skills. After training, children show changes in modular network organization of hippocampal-cortical circuits that are correlated with gains in problem-solving accuracy and efficiency of memory retrieval. Taken together, these results suggest potential neurocognitive mechanisms underlying improved problem-solving abilities in children.
