Stimulating motor skills learning in healthy ageing

Getting old is no fun and age-related loss of learning and retention of motor skills don’t make it any easier. EU research investigates one possible therapy, non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS).

Despite being a promising therapeutic solution, surprisingly little is known about NIBS and the way it boosts motor-related neuroplasticity. Through funding from a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship, the Stim-Plast-O project has investigated a form of neurostimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
