摘要
Normal aging is associated with decline of motor timing mechanisms implicated in planning and execution of movement. Evidence from previous studies has highlighted the relationship between neural oscillatory activities and motor timing processing in neurotypical younger adults; however, it remains unclear how normal aging affects the underlying neural mechanisms of movement in older populations. In the present study, we recorded EEG activities in two groups of younger and older adults while they performed randomized speech and limb motor reaction time tasks cued by temporally predictable and unpredictable sensory stimuli. Our data showed that older adults were significantly slower than their younger counterparts during speech production and limb movement, especially in response to temporally unpredictable sensory stimuli. This behavioral effect was accompanied by significant desynchronization of alpha (7-12 Hz) and beta (13-25 Hz) band neural oscillatory activities in older compared with younger adults, primarily during the preparatory pre-motor phase of responses for speech production and limb movement. In addition, we found that faster motor reaction times in younger adults were significantly correlated with weaker desynchronization of pre-motor alpha and beta band neural activities irrespective of stimulus timing and response modality. However, the pre-motor components of alpha and beta activities were timing-specific in older adults and were more strongly desynchronized in response to temporally predictable sensory stimuli. These findings highlight the role of alpha and beta band neural oscillations in motor timing processing mechanisms and reflect their functional deficits during the planning phase of speech production and limb movement in normal aging.
