Proprioceptive perception is impaired with aging, but little is known about aging-related deterioration of proprioception at the cortical level. Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) between limb kinematic and magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals reflects cortical processing of proprioceptive afference. We, thus, compared CKC strength to ankle movements between younger and older subjects, and examined whether CKC predicts postural stability. Fifteen younger (range 18–31 years) and eight older (66–73 years) sedentary volunteers were seated in MEG, while their right and left ankle joints were moved separately at 2 Hz (for 4 min each) using a novel MEG-compatible ankle-movement actuator. Coherence was computed between foot acceleration and MEG signals. CKC strength at the movement frequency (F0) and its first harmonic (F1) was quantified. In addition, postural sway was quantified during standing eyes-open and eyes-closed tasks to estimate motor performance. CKC peaked in the gradiometers over the vertex, and was significantly stronger (~76%) at F0 for the older than younger subjects. At F1, only the dominant-leg CKC was significantly stronger (~15%) for the older than younger subjects. In addition, CKC (at F1) was significantly stronger in the non-dominant than dominant leg, but only in the younger subjects. Postural sway was significantly (~64%) higher in the older than younger subjects when standing with eyes closed. Regression models indicated that CKC strength at F1 in the dominant leg and age were the only significant predictors for postural sway. Our results indicated that aging-related cortical-proprioceptive processing is altered by aging. Stronger CKC may reflect poorer cortical proprioceptive processing, and not solely the amount of proprioceptive afference as suggested earlier. In combination with ankle-movement actuator, CKC can be efficiently used to unravel proprioception-related-neuronal mechanisms and the related plastic changes in aging, rehabilitation, motor-skill acquisition, motor disorders etc.

More comprehensive proprioceptive stimulation of the hand amplifies its cortical processing
Hakonen, Maria; Nurmi, Timo; Vallinoja, Jaakko; Jaatela, Julia; Piitulainen, Harri (American Physiological Society, 2022)Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) quantifies the phase coupling between limb kinematics and cortical neurophysiological signals reflecting proprioceptive feedback to the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex. We studied whether ... -
Identification of Proprioceptive Thalamocortical Tracts in Children : Comparison of fMRI, MEG, and Manual Seeding of Probabilistic Tractography
Jaatela, Julia; Aydogan, Dogu Baran; Nurmi, Timo; Vallinoja, Jaakko; Piitulainen, Harri (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2022)Studying white matter connections with tractography is a promising approach to understand the development of different brain processes, such as proprioception. An emerging method is to use functional brain imaging to select ... -
Comparing MEG and EEG in detecting the ~20-Hz rhythm modulation to tactile and proprioceptive stimulation
Illman, Mia; Laaksonen, Kristina; Liljeström, Mia; Jousmäki, Veikko; Piitulainen, Harri; Fross, Nina (Elsevier, 2020)Modulation of the ~20-Hz brain rhythm has been used to evaluate the functional state of the sensorimotor cortex both in healthy subjects and patients, such as stroke patients. The ~20-Hz brain rhythm can be detected by ... -
Proprioceptive response strength in the primary sensorimotor cortex is invariant to the range of finger movement
Nurmi, Timo; Hakonen, Maria; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Piitulainen, Harri (Elsevier, 2023)Proprioception is the sense of body position and movement that relies on afference from the proprioceptors in muscles and joints. Proprioceptive responses in the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex can be elicited by stimulating ... -
Older Age Increases the Amplitude of Muscle Stretch-Induced Cortical Beta-Band Suppression But Does not Affect Rebound Strength
Walker, Simon; Monto, Simo; Piirainen, Jarmo M.; Avela, Janne; Tarkka, Ina M.; Parviainen, Tiina M.; Piitulainen, Harri (Frontiers Media, 2020)Healthy aging is associated with deterioration of the sensorimotor system, which impairs balance and somatosensation. However, the exact age-related changes in the cortical processing of sensorimotor integration are unclear. ...
