Age‐related decline in cortical inhibitory tone strengthens motor memory

Age‐related decline in cortical inhibitory tone strengthens motor memory

Ageing disrupts the finely tuned excitation/inhibition balance (E:I) across cortex via a natural decline in inhibitory tone (γ-amino butyric acid, GABA), causing functional decrements. However, in young adults, experimentally lowering GABA in sensorimotor cortex enhances a specific domain of sensori...
