Striatal functional connectivity changes following specific balance training in elderly people: MRI results of a randomized controlled pilot study

•Slackline training leads to task-specific improvements of slackline performance.•Improved balance performance goes along with reduced striatal connectivity.•Slackline training did not induced relevant changes of brain morphology. Practice-induced effects of specific balance training on brain struct...
