This study shows that the severity of flexor synergy after stroke in non-human primates depends on the extent of corticofugal disruption, not specific cortical damage.

The paper identifies a spinal origin for the flexor synergy in non-human primates, showing that spinal microstimulation generates coactivation aligned with the post-stroke synergy.

This study examines arm control recovery after motor cortex and red nucleus lesions in monkeys, finding that damage to specific cortical areas and the rubrospinal tract affects movement speed and recovery differently.
