Neuroanatomical and Functional Changes in Response to an Intensive Balance Training

July 21, 2020 updated by: German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intensive slackline training improves spatial orientation abilities, balancing skills and causes neuroplasticity in related brain cortical regions.
