NOVEL CENTRAL MECHANISMS IN HUMAN PROPRIOCEPTION [ 2009 - 2011 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Simon Gandevia (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Janet Taylor

Brief description Proprioception is how we sense the position of our joints, the movements of our joints, and the forces generated by our muscles. Disturbances of proprioception can cause major disruption of all movements and postures. We will undertake novel studies of how signals generated in the brain which command our movements contribute to all key aspects of proprioception. Finally we will unravel how the brain builds up the overall 'scheme' of our body which we need to make any accurate movement.
