Funded Activity Summary

Afferent stimulation-induced plasticity and its functional significance. Certain regions of the brain can reorganise (plasticity) during motor learning or when there is damage to peripheral nerves or muscles. There is a large body of evidence for these plastic changes in animals. Until recently data showing that similar changes occurred in humans was limited. However, we have recently demonstrated that certain patterns of peripheral stimulation can indeed induce similar changes in human subjects. These findings are important for our understanding of the mechanisms of motor control and learning.
