Weaker navigation signals may reflect instability in older adults

An observational study using virtual navigation and brain scans in 85 older adults linked steadier directional activity patterns to stronger signals.An observational study using virtual navigation and brain scans in 85 older adults linked steadier directional activity patterns to stronger signals.

Older adults show narrower brain connectivity patterns

During a navigation task, one brain connectivity pattern had an approximately 65% smaller range in 19 older adults than in 19 younger adults.During a navigation task, one brain connectivity pattern had an approximately 65% smaller range in 19 older adults than in 19 younger adults.
