Motor cognitive functions and their neurophysiology evolve and degrade along the lifespan
in a dramatic fashion. Current models of how the brain adapts to aging remain inspired …

Embodied cognition is a theoretical framework which posits that cognitive function is
intimately intertwined with the body and physical actions. Although the field of psychology is …

Bodily awareness is a central component of human sensation, action, and cognition. The
human body is subject to profound changes over the adult lifespan. We live in an aging …

While much of motor behavior is automatic, intentional action is necessary for the selection
and initiation of controlled motor acts and is thus an essential part of goal-directed behavior …

Stroke frequently results in motor impairment. Motor imagery (MI), the mental practice of
movements, has been suggested as a promising complement to other therapeutic …

Motor imagery (MI) describes a dynamic cognitive process where a movement is mentally
simulated without taking place and holds potential as a means of stimulating motor learning …

Motor imagery supports motor learning and performance and has the potential to be a useful
strategy for neurorehabilitation. However, motor imagery ability may be impacted by ageing …

Body postures provide information about others' actions, intentions, and emotions. Little is
known about how postures are represented in the visual system. Considering our extensive …

Body-specific mental rotation is thought to rely upon internal representations of motor
actions. Handedness is a source of distinctly different motor experience that shapes the …

Age-related decline in motor function is associated with over-activation of the sensorimotor
circuitry. Using a multimodal MEG-fMRI paradigm, we investigated whether this neural over …
