Deactivation of somatosensory and visual cortices during vestibular stimulation is associated with older age and poorer balance.
Aging is associated with peripheral and central declines in vestibular processing and postural control. Here we used functional MRI to investigate age differences in neural vestibular representations in response to pneumatic tap stimulation. We also measured the amount of body sway in multiple balan...
