Effects of dance training on oxytocin secretion and neural activity in older adults with subjective cognitive decline
Our results are particularly important in light of previous findings that older adults with SCD show a reduced FC between the medial orbitofrontal cortex and the precuneus, and that oxytocin levels are positively associated with the prefrontal-amygdala oxytocinergic circuit in socioemotional processing. Thus, dance training may contribute to socioemotional resilience-related neural and molecular adaptations in SCD.
