Ageing, Motor Control and Stroke Rehabilitation

Research overview

Motor control changes as people grow older.

This project investigates the effects of healthy ageing on the brain network responsible for bimanual movement, coordination, and motor inhibition: the network connecting the right and the left primary motor cortices.

We are using a combination of advanced brain stimulation and electroencephalography to examine whether declined neural plasticity results in impaired movement and coordination.

Funding

This project benefits from an award from the Academy of Medical Sciences 2023-2025.
