Abstract

As we age movements become slower, inconsistent and require more attention. These hallmarks of aging suggest a switch from predictive to reactive motor control. Here, I examine evidence supporting the hypothesis that motor aging is primarily determined by the early death of neurons in the cerebellum, a critical structure for predictive motor control.
