The Effects of Aging on Cognitive Motor Control:Functional Connectivity Analysis of the Beta Frequency

Abstract

As we get older, anatomical and functional changes in the brain start to occur that will most likely interact with stroke-related damage. One challenge seen after strokes is apraxia, including the loss of knowledge related to “why” tools are used for a specific task. We conducted an analysis study on functional connectivity to get data on how the brain process stimuli differently as it ages. This was done in hopes to better understand and care for neurological challenges that occur in older individuals.
