Professor roger lemon FRS FMedSci

Roger Lemon is Professor and Head of the Sobell Department of Motor Neuroscience and Movement Disorders at the Institute of Neurology, University College London. He has made important contributions to our understanding of the motor system in both health and disease. In particular, his detailed descriptions of both the anatomical and physiological organisation of the systems controlling the hand, in humans and non-human primates, are seen as being increasingly relevant to the understanding of conditions such as stroke and cerebral palsy. He has shown great ability in being able to employ a number of different approaches to the study of the hand control system, and crucially, to then applying this basic knowledge to the study of patients. We will here about his work later this afternoon.
