Association between Hypometabolism in the Supplementary Motor Area and Fear of Falling in Older Adults

Association between Hypometabolism in the Supplementary Motor Area and Fear of Falling in Older Adults

Background: A better understanding of the neural mechanisms that underlie the development of fear of falling (FoF) in seniors may help to detect potential treatable factors and reduce future falls. We therefore investigate the neural correlates of FoF in older adults using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-pos...
