abstract = {With increasing age cognitive performance slows down. This
includes cognitive processes essential for motor
performance. Additionally, performance of motor tasks
becomes less accurate. The objective of the present study
was to identify general neural correlates underlying
age-related behavioral slowing and the reduction in motor
task accuracy. To this end, we continuously recorded EEG
activity from 18 younger and 24 older right-handed healthy
participants while they were performing a simple finger
tapping task. We analyzed the EEG records with respect to
local changes in amplitude (power spectrum) as well as phase
locking between the two age groups. We found differences
between younger and older subjects in the amplitude of
post-movement synchronization in the β band of the
sensory-motor and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). This
post-movement β amplitude was significantly reduced in
older subjects. Moreover, it positively correlated with the
accuracy with which subjects performed the motor task at the
electrode FCz, which detects activity of the mPFC and the
supplementary motor area. In contrast, we found no
correlation between the accurate timing of local neural
activity, i.e. phase locking in the δ-θ frequency band,
with the reaction and movement time or the accuracy with
which the motor task was performed. Our results show that
only post-movement β amplitude and not δ-θ phase locking
is involved in the control of movement accuracy. The
decreased post-movement β amplitude in the mPFC of older
subjects hints at an impaired deactivation of this area,
which may affect the cognitive control of stimulus-induced
motor tasks and thereby motor output.},
