We all become more prone to falling as we age, and some activities may cause severe fractures and even death. Researchers in Tel Aviv University have examined the effect of non-invasive low-magnitude cerebral stimuli on senior citizens while completing a motor task (such as walking) a cognitive function, a dual action that signifies overall functionality level. They found that weak stimuli in the cognitive areas of the brain (D-LPFC) lasting approximately 20 minutes improves brain function when completing combined stabilized standing/walking and a cognitive task: "This is a very safe treatment and we hope that in the future people will be able to complete this at home" (researcher team)
