- •
Sensorineural deterioration with age negatively impacts vestibular function.
- •
Real rotation thresholds were elevated in older adults at 0.1 Hz.
- •
Older adult virtual rotation thresholds were lower at 1 Hz than young adults.
- •
Our results suggest frequency-specific central gain enhancement in older adults.
- •
Age-related central adaptation increases sensitivity for common head movements.
