Age-Related Neural Dedifferentiation in the Motor System
Recent neuroimaging studies using multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) show that distributed patterns of brain activation elicited by different visual stimuli are less distinctive in older adults than in young adults. However, less is known about the effects of aging on the neural representation of movement. The present study used MVPA to compare the distinctiveness of motor representations in y...
متن کاملAge-related changes in the neural correlates of motor performance.
Age-related neurodegenerative and neurochemical changes are thought to underlie decline in motor and cognitive functions, but compensatory processes in cortical and subcortical function may allow maintenance of performance level in some people. Our objective was to investigate age-related changes in the motor system of the human brain using functional MRI. Twenty six right handed volunteers wer...
متن کاملAge-related dedifferentiation of visuospatial abilities.
Forty-eight older adults were tested on a battery of seven speeded visuospatial tasks that were developed by Chen et al. to measure the functions of the ventral and dorsal neural processing streams. Principal components analysis revealed only one factor with an eigenvalue greater than 1.0, and all of the tasks loaded heavily on this general factor. These results are in contrast to those reporte...
متن کاملNeural broadening or neural attenuation? Investigating age-related dedifferentiation in the face network in a large lifespan sample.
Previous studies have found that cortical responses to different stimuli become less distinctive as people get older. This age-related dedifferentiation may reflect the broadening of the tuning curves of category-selective neurons (broadening hypothesis) or it may be due to decreased activation of category-selective neurons (attenuation hypothesis). In this study, we evaluated these hypotheses ...
متن کاملAge and activity-related changes in the respiratory motor system
The ability of the respiratory motor system to adapt to various functional demands is very important for maintaining human lifestyles. Age-related changes in the system have been studied in several animals. Furthermore, many kinds of models of altered use have been developed to examine activity-related changes in the system. In this review, the plasticity of the respiratory motor system, includ...
