Funded Activity Summary

Age-related deficits in the ability to perform meaningful, voluntary movements markedly increase the likelihood of experiencing falls, a major cause of injury among older adults. Using advanced neurophysiological techniques, this project will (1) define the role of functional connectivity decline in age-related movement deficits and (2) gain a mechanistic understanding of improvements in voluntary movement control through a promising intervention for reversing age-related functional decline.
