  Neuronal and biomechanical mechanisms underlying the control and plasticity of aimed limb movements
University of Leicester Department of Neuroscience, Psychology and Behaviour
  Dr T Matheson, Dr S Ott
Applications accepted all year round
Most animal movements are driven by muscle contractions controlled by the nervous system, but there is now considerable evidence that passive forces, originating in muscles, tendons or other tissues, interact with active forces to generate limb movements in both vertebrates and invertebrates (Page et al.

  Understanding the role of serotonergic systems in motor control
University of Leicester Department of Neuroscience, Psychology and Behaviour
  Dr J McDearmid, Dr W NORTON
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
Serotonin is a key modulator of locomotor activity in the brain and spinal cord of vertebrates. A wide range pharmacological and lesion studies have provided important information about the role of serotonergic systems in modulation of motor output.

  Optimal control of long-term feedback during periodic and continuous movements
Loughborough University School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences
  Dr G Blenkinsop
Applications accepted all year round
Movement variability is inherent in human movement, which during periodic and continuous movement may accumulation over time to cause significant deviations away from the planned movement pattern.

  Investigating motor impulse control in Parkinson’s disease using non-invasive brain stimulation
University of Birmingham School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences
  Dr H MacDonald, Dr C J McAllister
Applications accepted all year round
The ability to control our urges and impulses is arguably one thing that sets humans apart from other species. We have the capacity to think before we act.
