Ageing, Motor Control and Stroke Rehabilitation

Research overview

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

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.
