Motor Behavior Following Deafferentation in the Developing and Motorically Mature Monkey

Following deafferentation of both forelimbs by dorsal rhizotomy, motorically mature rhesus monkeys are able to make extensive use of the affected extremities, both for patterned activity (e.g., ambulation, climbing) and for independent use of the deafferented members. Limb deafferentation does, however, result in a clearly apparent motor deficit, particularly in the fine control and timing of movement.
