Tactile coactivation resets age‐related decline of human tactile discrimination

Abstract: Because the preservation of sufficient tactile acuity into advanced age is an important prerequisite for the maintenance of autonomous living, we believe that the concept of coactivation might turn out to be beneficial in preserving everyday sensorimotor competence in the elderly through new forms of therapeutic interventions.

“…In contrast, ratios Ͻ1 were found in both young and elderly individuals, although tactile discrimination differed substantially between young and elderly subjects (Stevens, 1992;Woodward, 1993;Wohlert, 1996;Dinse et al, 2006;Kalisch et al, 2009). Accordingly, the close association between paired-pulse suppression and discrimination performance discussed above appears limited to elderly subjects.…”
