Abstract

Whether and how sensory stimulation at beta frequencies could boost motor circuit processing of stepping movement without producing exaggerated beta oscillations are not fully understood. Here authors show that beta frequency audiovisual stimulation enhances stepping rhythmicity via improved striatal regulation of movement in mice, highlighting the translational potential of sensory stimulation in improving gait rhythmicity.
