ReScale
Reconfigurations in Large-Scale Brain Networks
The project examines how flexibility and stability in brain networks changes in the ageing brain and how that affects our motor skills.
The brain achieves its enormous action repertoire by dynamically activating sets of brain regions that join together into self-organized coalitions.
It is currently unclear how experience and aging influences the stability and flexibility of these coalitions and this limits our ability to optimally support the aging brain.
To gain insight into the interplay between network flexibility and stability we use a multi-method approach combining functional neuroimaging and focal neurostimulation to identify interactions between physical activity, training and aging.
Our findings will significantly advance our understanding of how large-scale brain networks dynamics change across the lifespan.
