Abstract

Editorial: Non-invasive Brain Stimulation and Plasticity Changes in Aging.

Highlights

  • Our conceptualization of brain changes across the lifespan is evolving (Pascual-Leone et al, 2011)

  • The most suitable framework appears to be that of life-long, continued “developmental” processes that influence each other, and there is a growing need for deeper understanding of brain changes from prenatal states and infancy through childhood into adult and old age

  • Young-Bernier et al hypothesize that measures of short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI), reflecting cortical cholinergic activity, mediate age-related individual differences to the plasticity-inducing effects of theta burst stimulation (TBS)
