There is overwhelming evidence for an age-related change in brain activity when performing motor and motor-cognitive tasks (i.e. dual-tasking). In general this research shows increased cortical activity, i.e. cortical overactivation, and, less evident, subcortical deactivation in the healthy brains of older compared to young adults. Furthermore brain network activity becomes less distinct and less segregated. […]
