Brief Summary

Walking, Brain and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of motor representations in healthy subjects and amnesic MCI.

Detailed Description

Review and compare mapping brain activation in Magnetic Resonance Imaging about healthy subjects according to age (\<40 years and\> 60 years) and MCI through the combination of two paradigms: on mechanically simulated by Korvit® boots and imagination of the walk.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Review and compare mapping cerebral activation in brain MRIOne day

Review and compare mapping brain activation in healthy about MRI according to age (\<40 years and\> 60 years) and MCI through the combination of two paradigms: on mechanically simulated by Korvit® boots and imagination the walk. The primary endpoint is the analysis of fMRI brain mapping in accordance with the different paradigms of acquisition. The MRI data will be the subject of a specific statistical treatment, via dedicated software, which will be implemented under the control of the investigators who have conducted such an fMRI analysis in previous studies. Various brain mapping can be established from the data collected. It may include statistical comparisons between different preselected regions, and different experimental conditions, or correlation studies between brain activation and clinical parameters.
