Two hands, one brain, and aging

C Maes, J Gooijers, JJO de Xivry, SP Swinnen… - Neuroscience & …, 2017 - Elsevier
Many activities of daily living require moving both hands in an organized manner in space
and time. Therefore, understanding the impact of aging on bimanual coordination is …

Age-related differences in bimanual movements: a systematic review and meta-analysis

LM Krehbiel, N Kang, JH Cauraugh - Experimental Gerontology, 2017 - Elsevier
Background With increasing age motor functions decline. The additional challenges of
executing bimanual movements further hinder motor functions in older adults. The current …

The influence of distal and proximal muscle activation on neural crosstalk

Y Wang, OP Neto, MM Weinrich, R Castro, T Wright… - Plos one, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Previous research has indicated that neural crosstalk is asymmetric, with the dominant
effector exerting a stronger influence on the non-dominant effector than vice versa. Recently …

Cerebellar gray matter explains bimanual coordination performance in children and older adults

MP Boisgontier, B Cheval, P van Ruitenbeek… - Neurobiology of …, 2018 - Elsevier
The cerebellum appears to undergo late maturation in children and early decline at older
age. Whether these age-related changes affect bimanual coordination performance remains …

[HTML][HTML] The influence of altered-gravity on bimanual coordination: retention and transfer

A Diaz-Artiles, Y Wang, MM Davis, R Abbott… - Frontiers in …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Many of the activities associated with spaceflight require individuals to coordinate actions
between the limbs (eg, controlling a rover, landing a spacecraft). However, research …

[HTML][HTML] Induced suppression of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex favorably changes interhemispheric communication during bimanual coordination in older adults …

S Verstraelen, K Van Dun, J Duque… - Frontiers in aging …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Recent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) research indicated that the ability of the
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) to disinhibit the contralateral primary motor cortex …

Bimanual coordination associated with left-and right-hand dominance: testing the limb assignment and limb dominance hypothesis

S Panzer, D Kennedy, P Leinen, C Pfeifer… - Experimental Brain …, 2021 - Springer
In an experiment conducted by Kennedy et al.(Exp Brain Res 233: 181–195, 2016),
dominant right-handed individuals were required to produce a rhythm of isometric forces in a …

Age-dependent relationship between socio-adaptability and motor coordination in high functioning children with autism spectrum disorder

V Kostrubiec, R Huys, B Jas, J Kruck - Journal of autism and …, 2018 - Springer
Abnormal perceptual-motor coordination is hypothesized here to be involved in social
deficits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To test this hypothesis, high functioning children …

The effect of inherent and incidental constraints on bimanual force control in simulated Martian gravity

Y Wang, OP Neto, M Weinrich, R Abbott… - Human Movement …, 2024 - Elsevier
The ability to coordinate actions between the limbs is important for many operationally
relevant tasks associated with space exploration. A future milestone in space exploration is …

Lifespan development of the bilateral deficit in a simple reaction time task

S Vieluf, G Aschersleben, S Panzer - Experimental brain research, 2017 - Springer
Performing an action at a maximum speed or with a maximum strength simultaneously with
two limbs leads to a lower performance than the sum of unimanual performances. This …
