Researchers from University College Dublin (UCD) and the ULB Neuroscience Institute have shed light on the brain mechanisms underlying age-related changes in postural control. Aging is known to ...

Aging is known to degrade sensory systems, posing a major challenge to balance control and resulting in an increased risk of falls. Despite its importance, though, the role of the brain has only been ...

Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have identified a remarkably small but critical piece of genetic code that helps determine how brain cells connect, communicate, and function. The ...

Balance problems in aging and Parkinson’s may come from the body working too hard, not too little. Scientists found that the brain and muscles become overactive during even minor disturbances, yet ...

A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution of ...

Imagine if keeping your brain in top shape was as routine as brushing your teeth in the morning or exercising before work. Brain health is more than simply the absence of disease; it is the state of ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate the ...

For most people, blurry vision, hearing loss, and balance problems are different health problems. It's easy to think that ...

A noninvasive brain stimulation technique may help adults with multiple sclerosis walk farther and improve their balance.
