Inhibition and action in the aging brain: role of GABA in brain function and network interactions KU Leuven
Studying the neural mechanisms underlying age deficits in movement control is of utmost socioeconomic relevance. Here, we will study inhibitory control mechanisms that shape motor behavior. Using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we will determine the concentration of gammaaminobutyric acid (GABA), the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. In Phase 1, multimodal imaging is used to study interactions between GABA concentration, brain ...
