Description
Andrea Rosso, Qu Tian, and Stephen Kritchevsky introduce a symposium on how the brain's cortex controls walking and balance in old age, in a 2023 overview. A decade of workshops moved the field from seeing movement as mostly automatic to recognizing the attention and cortical work behind it. The talks cover brain efficiency during dual-task walking in multiple sclerosis, varied prefrontal responses to walking, and how wobblier gait over time foretells dementia.
Other sessions probe prefrontal activity as a marker of how automatic a person's gait is, and test brain stimulation for steadier balance under mental load. The authors frame cortical control as the meeting point of thinking and moving, with shared causes behind both declines.
