Description

Investigating neuronal oscillations and motor function in older adults. . This project aims to identify changes in brain function that contribute to age-related reductions in movement control. By implementing a novel, multimodal approach involving cutting edge non-invasive brain stimulation, this project expects to identify the causal role of brain oscillations in the ability of older adults to learn new motor skills. Expected outcomes include a critical understanding of the basic neural mechanisms that contribute to altered motor function during healthy ageing. These outcomes will provide significant benefits, including important neurophysiological insight that is required to develop targeted interventions aimed at improving movement in older adults. .
