Introduction: In a continuously senescent population, insight into neural correlates of healthy ageing has gained major interest and has individual, societal and economic implications. Based on structural imaging, it is well known that healthy ageing is associated with grey and white matter loss throughout lifespan predominantly affecting the frontal lobes. Functional imaging and EEG studies suggest that normal ageing leads to less lateralised motor task-related activation and recruitment of additional sensorimotor areas in both hemispheres. However, understanding of non-clinical ageing effects on motor function…
