Abstract:
A symposium entitled "Motor control: from the periphery to the cortex and back' was held at the University College London Institute of Neurology to commemorate the retirement of Professor Roger Lemon, whose research has significantly advanced the field of fine motor cortical control. This report focuses on discussions at the symposium regarding the descending tracts associated with motor control, highlighting the neurological response and subsequent rehabilitation of motor pathway damage resulting from cerebrovascular insults.
