  Neuronal Plasticity and Age-related Decline in Motor Cortex Function
  Author(s): Ryo Chen*
  
  The motor cortex, a key brain region responsible for voluntary motor control, undergoes significant changes with aging. Neuronal plasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, plays a crucial role in maintaining motor function. However, age-related functional decline in the motor cortex can impact this plasticity, leading to impairments in motor skills, coordination, and overall mobility. This mini review explores the relationship between neuronal plasticity and age-related decline in motor cortex function, examining underlying mechanisms, clinical implications, and potential interventions...
