Participants are highly interested, frequently mentioning brain adaptability, training benefits, and neurostimulation techniques.

EngagementModerate engagement

Comments include some references to research methods and practical implications, indicating moderate engagement.

ImpactModerate impact

While some see the research as important, the general tone suggests a recognition of its significance but not a profound impact on policy or practice yet.

Abstract in brief

  • The text explains that motor skill learning involves neuroplastic changes in the brain, such as alterations in structure, activity, and chemistry, which are well-documented in young adults.
  • Despite age-related declines in motor performance, older adults still have the ability to improve skills through training, and this ability may be linked to retained brain plasticity.
  • The review discusses how brain structure and function influence learning in older adults, and explores noninvasive brain stimulation techniques to enhance motor learning in this population.
