• Can moderate aerobic exercise combined with mild brain stimulation boost motor-cortex plasticity in older adults?

  We will see if a single session of moderate aerobic exercise, alone or followed by mild brain stimulation (tDCS), helps boost motor-cortex plasticity in healthy older adults compared with younger adults.
