Weaker Seniors Exhibit Motor Cortex Hypoexcitability and Impairments in Voluntary Activation

Structured PICO

Population

weaker seniors

Outcome

impairments in voluntary activation and increased GABAergic inhibition of the motor cortexsurrogate

Impairments in voluntary activation in weaker seniors may be driven by increased GABAergic inhibition in the motor cortex.

Abstract

These findings indicate that weaker seniors exhibit significant impairments in voluntary activation, and that this impairment may be mechanistically associated with increased GABAergic inhibition of the motor cortex.
