As people age, they experience changes in motor control (such as the coordination of their limbs as well as the dexterous control of hand and finger movements) and in their cognitive abilities (skills like decision-making, problem-solving, learning and memory).

Dr Mark Hinder's research looks at how changes in the structure and functioning of the brain affect our ability to do these everyday motor and cognitive tasks. He examines how these changes are related to the fact that some older adults show more deterioration of these abilities while others retain a high level of motor and cognitive function late into senescence.

As a motor neuroscientist, a focus of his research is to determine which areas of the brain are critically involved in the performance of everyday tasks and how these areas communicate with each other during various components of the task. He uses a technique known as transcranial magnetic stimulation (or TMS) to investigate the level of activation of different brain regions, and how different brain regions communicate, while participants perform tasks in the laboratory. By comparing the results from younger subjects, healthy older adults, and older people with mild cognitive impairment, he evaluates how the different patterns of connections in the brain relate to how well people are able to do at different tasks.

‘It seems that those people who maintain better functional connectivity between different brain regions show better function into older age,’ Dr Hinder says.

With Australia’s population ageing rapidly, his results could be important to the development of interventions aimed at maintaining motor and cognitive function, or delaying the deleterious effects of cognitive decline. One aspect of his research is to look at the role changes in brain structure and function play in dementia and other age-related conditions where people experience accelerated declines in cognition or motor function. He is also examining how the brain compensates through a process known as plasticity, for example in response to declines in function caused by dementia or stroke.

‘Essentially, we are asking: when there is damage to one area of the brain, is the brain able to compensate by recruiting other areas to maintain the ability to undertake certain tasks?’

Ultimately, Dr Hinder’s research may lead to new therapeutic procedures that use brain stimulation to help people recover motor and cognitive function. There is already some evidence to suggest an association between brain stimulation and short-term improvements in performance.

‘Our goal is to understand this better and see whether we can develop therapeutic protocols that lead to sustained improvements in performance.’

In his research, Dr Hinder has collaborated with researchers at the School of Medicine, Menzies Institute for Medical Research and the Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre. ‘The University has great facilities for doing ageing-related research,’ Dr Hinder says. ‘One of the major benefits of working here is the ease with which you can establish collaborations with world-renowned researchers in their respective fields.’

Biography

Dr Hinder completed a MSc in Neuro-mechanics at Simon Fraser University (Canada) in 2003 before undertaking a PhD (Behavioural Neuroscience) at the University of Queensland. He joined the University of Tasmania in 2008 as a post-doc fellow in Professor Jeffery Summers' Human Motor Control Laboratory.

Since 2012 he has been working as an ARC DECRA fellow on a project investigating the neural mechanisms underlying changes in motor control in healthy ageing. His research is conducted in collaboration with international colleagues at Trinity College Dublin as well as colleagues at University of Queensland and University of Western Australia.

Teaching Interests

Dr Hinder is currently engaged in a full-time research position, but has delivered guest lectures on Neuroscience and taught Biomechanics at University of Queensland prior to joining the University of Tasmania.

Research Interests

Dr Hinder's research interests include determining how changes in motor and cognitive behaviour occur in older age are related to changes in brain structure and function, with a particular focus on investigating why some older adults show age-related degradation of motor and cognition function in their 5th decade, while others remain highly functioning late in senescence.

Learning how we learn: linking inhibitory brain circuits to motor learning (2024 - 2026)$460,806
Description
Understanding the relationship between activity changes in brain circuits and human behaviours is a fundamentalquestion in neuroscience. This project aims to contribute to this question by using cutting-edge brain stimulationtechniques to demonstrate causal relationships between inhibitory brain circuit activity and motor learning. Thisproject expects to generate fundamental knowledge about the relationship between the brain and behaviours.Eventually, this may contribute to the development of optimised training protocols in healthy populations such asschool children, recreational and elite athletes, medical and military personnel, and ageing adults, as well as brainstimulation interventions to drive improved motor learning.

How do we cancel or modify movements? (2020 - 2022)$366,310
Description
The combined effect of Australia's population growth and ageing demographics will result in the number ofAustralians > 65 years old increasing by 5.9 million by 2051 relative to 2012 numbers. Not only will this result incosts related to ageing rising exponentially but will also result in a significant older workforce. The current projectwill provide fundamental new knowledge about the mechanisms of inhibitory control, and how this facilitydegrades during later life. This knowledge may lead to future interventions aimed at maintaining efficient inhibitorycontrol in later life, and thus assumes significant economic and social benefits.

Clinical safety assessment of rTMS application for the treatment of MS (2019)$16,000
Description
Oligodendrocytes are brain cells that die in MS, but non-invasive brain stimulation (rTMS) can promote their generation in preclinical models of disease. This project will take an important role in the clinical translation of this treatment and determine whether this type of stimulation can be safely delivered to people with MS.

Rapid motor responses in young and older adults (2016 - 2019)$660,751
Description
1 in 4 Australians will be over the age of 65 by the year 2056. This project aims to develop fundamental newknowledge of the natural processes that characterise age-related changes in rapid motor actions by combiningnon-invasive brain stimulation with novel behavioural experiments and computational modelling techniques. It willaddress how changes in brain structure and function, as well as alterations in cognitive processing abilities, thatoccur in older age, affect rapid choices between various alternative motor actions as well as our ability stop motorresponses once they are planned.

A Translational Approach to Understanding the Effects of Brain Stimulation (2014)$34,000
Description
Brain function is underpinned by electrical activity that is vital for communication between cells, and for establishing and maintaining normal brain structure and function. Modulation of electrical activity by repetitive trans-cranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is becoming widely recognised as a clinically applicable non-invasive intervention to improve and repair neural function in humans.

The Ageing Brain: Plasticity and Training (2013 - 2015)$340,739
Description
Normal ageing is associated with progressive decline in cognitive and motor functions. Much recent research interest has focused on whether specific motor and cognitive skills training programs for older adults can slow, or even reverse, functional decline. A feature of ageing, however, is the large variation across individuals in level of performance, rate of decline, and response to training programs. The aims of this research are to provide novel insights into how brain plasticity mechanisms influence individual differences in cognitive and motor function and training responsiveness. The outcomes will aid the development of more effective training programs for older adults.

Brain Connectivity During Movement Planning and Execution in Young and Older Adults (2012 - 2014)$375,000
Description
Advancing age is associated with a decline in the ability to make accurate movements which can have profound consequences on older adults' ability to live independently, and likely contributes to the fact that over a third of those older adults living at home experience at least one fall annually. The research described within this proposal will improve our knowledge of the brain mechanisms associated with motor control across the lifespan. The outcomes of the research will potentially lead to interventions to better maintain coordinated movement into later life, and therefore assume great significance for the health and well-being of individuals while reducing the significant health care costs associated with an ageing population.
