Journal ArticleDOI
Motor Control and Aging: Links to Age-Related Brain Structural, Functional, and Biochemical Effects
Rachael D. Seidler,Jessica A. Bernard,Taritonye B. Burutolu,Brett W. Fling,Mark T. Gordon,Joseph T. Gwin,Youngbin Kwak,David B. Lipps +7 more
TL;DR: In general, older adults exhibit involvement of more widespread brain regions for motor control than young adults, particularly the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia networks, resulting in an imbalance of "supply and demand".
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric pedunculopontine network connectivity in parkinsonian patients with freezing of gait
Brett W. Fling,Rajal G. Cohen,Rajal G. Cohen,Martina Mancini,John G. Nutt,Damian A. Fair,Fay B. Horak +6 more
TL;DR: The more left hemisphere-lateralized the pedunculopontine nucleus tract volume, the poorer the performance on cognitive tasks requiring the initiation of appropriate actions and/or the inhibition of inappropriate actions, specifically within patients with freezing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using the Wii Fit as a tool for balance assessment and neurorehabilitation: the first half decade of “Wii-search”
TL;DR: The present review provides the first comprehensive summary of Wii Fit balance research, giving specific insight into the system’s use for the assessment and training of balance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional reorganization of the locomotor network in Parkinson patients with freezing of gait.
Brett W. Fling,Rajal G. Cohen,Martina Mancini,Samuel D. Carpenter,Damien A. Fair,John G. Nutt,Fay B. Horak +6 more
TL;DR: The current findings demonstrate a re-organization of functional communication within the locomotor network in FoG+ patients whereby the higher-order motor cortex (SMA) responsible for gait initiation communicates with the MLR and CLR to a greater extent than in Fog− patients and controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Implications of Age Differences in Motor System Connectivity
TL;DR: Reduced interhemispheric connectivity reflects a loss of the ability to inhibit the non-dominant hemisphere during motor task performance for older adults, which has a negative impact on performance.
