Age Differences in Interhemispheric Interactions: Callosal Structure, Physiological Function, and Behavior
2011
Frontiers in Neuroscience
There is a fundamental gap in understanding how brain structural and functional network connectivity are interrelated, how they change with age, and how such changes contribute to older adults' sensorimotor ...
Declines in corpus callosum size and microstructure with advancing age have been well documented, but their contributions to age deficits in unimanual and bimanual function are not well defined. ...
As proposed in the HAROLD model, older adults exhibit cortical over-activation relative to young adults when performing motor tasks. ...

The role of MRS-assessed GABA in human behavioral performance
2022
Progress in Neurobiology
Converging evidence from both animal and human studies indicates that individual variations in GABAergic function are associated with behavioral performance. ...
Nonetheless, additional studies using emerging advanced methods are required to further clarify the role of MRS-assessed GABA in behavioral performance. ...
Thus, the GABA-behavior association may differ between young and older adults as higher overall GABA levels seem to show positive associations with performance in older adults while positive as well as ...

Sensorimotor network segregation declines with age and is linked to GABA and to sensorimotor performance
2019
NeuroImage
Second, less segregated networks are associated with lower GABA levels. Third, less segregated networks and lower GABA levels are associated with worse sensorimotor performance. ...
For example, compared to young adults, older adults typically exhibit weaker functional connectivity within the same functional network but stronger functional connectivity between different networks. ...

Age-Related Reductions in Tactile and Motor Inhibitory Function Start Early but Are Independent
2019
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
Here we examined whether tactile surround inhibition also changes with age and whether these changes are associated with those in the motor domain. ...
Aging is associated with declines in motor and somatosensory function. Some of these motor declines have been linked to age-related reductions in inhibitory function. ...

Age-Related Changes in Frontal Network Structural and Functional Connectivity in Relation to Bimanual Movement Control
2016
Journal of Neuroscience
Compared with young adults, older adults showed performance declines in the more difficult bimanual conditions, less optimal brain white matter (WM) microstructure, and a decreased ability to regulate ...
Changes in both brain structure and neurophysiological function regulating homotopic as well as heterotopic interhemispheric interactions (IHIs) are assumed to be responsible for the bimanual performance ...
Changes in DLPFC-M1 interaction are associated with declined bimanual movement in older adults In contrast to PMd-M1 IHI, older adults failed to show any taskrelated modulations in the DLPFC-M1 IHI, whereas ...

Baseline sensorimotor GABA levels shape neuroplastic processes induced by motor learning in older adults
2020
Human Brain Mapping
These data collectively indicate that motor learning-related decreases in sensorimotor GABA levels and increases in functional connectivity are limited to those older adults with higher baseline GABA levels ...
Previous research in young adults has demonstrated that both motor learning and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) trigger decreases in the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the sensorimotor ...

Premotor-Motor Interhemispheric Inhibition Is Released during Movement Initiation in Older but Not Young Adults
2012
PLoS ONE
Thirteen young (mean age 22.2 years) and thirteen older (68.5 years) adults rapidly abducted their left index finger as soon as possible in response to a visual imperative signal, presented 500 ms after ...
Here we investigated whether healthy ageing is associated with a change in functional connectivity, as indicated by the ability to modulate interhemispheric interactions during movement preparation in ...

bioRxiv
pre-print
The capability of the brain to inhibit ipsilateral motor-cortical activity during a simple right-hand sensory-motor task is tightly related to right-hand dexterity in older adults. ...
