Abstract

Age-related characteristics of the formation and development of neurodynamic properties were studied in 835 subjects (6–75 years old) using unified methods and equipment. The dynamics of the growth of these functions and their gradual reduction were determined. Relationship between the properties of the basic nervous processes and temporal parameters of motor responses of various complexity is shown.
