A corticostriatal deficit promotes temporal distortion of automatic action in ageing

A corticostriatal deficit promotes temporal distortion of automatic action in ageing

The acquisition of motor skills involves implementing action sequences that increase task efficiency while reducing cognitive loads. This learning capacity depends on specific cortico-basal ganglia circuits that are affected by normal ageing. Here, combining a series of novel behavioural tasks with...
