Motor-Cognitive Neural Network Communication Underlies Walking Speed in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
While walking was once thought to be a highly automated process, it requires higher-level cognition with older age. Like other cognitive tasks, it also becomes further challenged with increased cognitive load (e.g., the addition of an unrelated dual task) and often results in poorer performance (e.g...
