“…Our study also considered motor imagery across the lifespan. In terms of implicit tests of motor imagery, there was no obvious evidence that older adults were less accurate than young adults in the judgement of hand laterality, which is in line with previous findings that accuracy was comparable between a group of older adults and a group of young adults (Devlin & Wilson, 2010;Saimpont et al, 2009;Zapparoli et al, 2016). However, it is important to note that the lack of a difference in accuracy in all of these studies may be due to ceiling effects and if given a task which allowed a higher range of variability in the lower angles we may have seen absolute accuracy differences.…”

“…Consistent with this interpretation, clinical data show that parietal white‐matter lesions correlate with impaired mobility [Benson et al, ; Moscufo et al, ]. The “active” contribution of the posterior multisensory regions might be particularly relevant in the elderly [Zwergal et al, ] to scaffold motor performance and cope with age‐related sensory system decline (for similar interpretations in different contexts, see Heuninckx et al [], Venkatraman et al [], and Zapparoli et al []).…”

“…The enhanced connectivity to a region that is specifically more active in GTS patients during a motor task suggests that this hyperactivation might be compensatory in nature, in response to multiple inputs according to task demands and the natural tendency of patients with GTS to generate tics: the superior frontal gyrus, with its hyperactivation during the motor task and enhanced incoming endogenous connectivity, might be one of the gatekeepers that maintain the tendency to tic and its competition with controlled motor behaviour at bay (for a discussion about compensatory processes associated with other domains see, e.g. Berlingeri et al ., ; Zapparoli et al ., 2016b).…”
