Cohesion01:07

Cohesion

59.6K
Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same type, such as water molecules. Water molecules have an overall neutral charge but are polar molecule. An oxygen atom in one water molecule has a partial negative charge that can bind to a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge in a second water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond. Each water molecule can form up to four hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for water's cohesive nature.

Conformity is the change in a person’s behavior to go along with the group, even if that person does not agree with the group.

Symbiosis

37.6K
Symbiotic relationships are long-term, close interactions between individuals of different species that affect the distribution and abundance of those species. When a relationship is beneficial to both species, this is called mutualism. When the relationship is beneficial to one species but neither beneficial nor harmful to the other species, this is called commensalism. When one organism is harmed to benefit another, the relationship is known as parasitism. These types of relationships often...

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

39.2K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Schemas01:42

Schemas

12.4K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Aggression01:47

Aggression

30.4K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Summary

Age-related gait disturbances stem from multisystem decline, impacting balance and walking. Maintaining gait requires integrated sensory and cognitive functions, with age-related changes affecting neuronal pathways.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neuroscience
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Gait and balance maintenance in the elderly rely on a hierarchical system integrating vestibular, visual, and somatosensory information with cognitive functions.
  • Age-related changes impact the integrity of frontal-subcortical neuronal circuits crucial for regulatory functions during walking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying age-related gait and balance disturbances.
  • To analyze recent findings on gait changes in the elderly using functional neuroimaging.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on age-related gait disturbances.
  • Analysis of studies employing functional neuroimaging techniques to investigate gait control.

Main Results:

  • Key mechanisms include reduced efficacy of spinal motorneuron activation, decreased cortical activation, and diminished corticospinal pathway excitability.
  • Age-related gait changes are characterized by a multisystem decline affecting multiple neural structures, not limited to a single sensory system.

Conclusions:

  • Age-related gait disturbances result from complex, multisystem pathogenetic mechanisms affecting neuronal pathways.
  • Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing interventions to improve balance and walking in older adults.
