Here’s to a man who has devoted his entire career advancing knowledge about how the brain controls movement in primates–knowledge that (virtually) translates directly to humans. Without a doubt, his findings have directed many hundreds of scientists, many thousands of doctors that have helped millions of patients suffering from extremely debilitating neurological disorders mediating muscle activation and (hence) movement. I have met and evaluated patients suffering from movement disorders (i.e. Parkinson’s disease, Myasthenia Gravis, Essential Tremor, etc.) and neuromuscular disorders (i.e. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Multiple Sclerosis, etc.) and I can tell you, these disorders are among the worst ailments a person can experience.
