How the motor system copes with aging: a quantitative meta-analysis of the effect of aging on motor function control

Many aspects of neuronal control degrade with ageing, including motor control. Using a meta-analysis of functional MRI images, it is made apparent that the ageing brain relies more on visual strategies than sensory stimuli to maintain motor function.
