Symposium Announcement:
Symposium
Deafferentation and The Role of Sensory Afferent in Human
Motor Control
May 14-15 1993
Universite Laval, Quebec City, Canada
Universite Laval and the Centre de recherche en sciences
neurologiques and Groupe de recherche sur le systeme nerveux
central, Universite de Montreal are pleased to host a
symposium on deafferentation and the role of sensory afferent
for human motor control. The symposium will draw together
researchers that are studying (1) patients with large-fiber
sensory neuropathy and central lesions yielding to sensory
neuropathy, (2) the role of proprioception using
microneurographic and perturbation (vibration, curarization
and ischemia) techniques.
The conference will be held in Quebec city, a UNESCO World
Heritage City. The conference language is English.
Invited Speakers:
Rothwell, J.C. (London, UK)
Effect of peripheral input on motor cortical circuitry in man
Sanes, J. (Providence, USA)
Mechanisms for motor disturbance in sensory deafferentation
Cole, J. (Southampton, UK)
Evoked potentials in a man without large myelinated afferents
Gandevia, S. (Sydney-Matraville, AUS)
Motor commands and the activation of human motoneurones in
the absence of movement
Ghez, C. (New-York, USA)
Roles of proprioceptive information in the aiming and
coordination of multijoint movements
Feldman, A. (Montreal, CND)
Sensorimotor coordination in movement production: control
signals, frame of reference and afferent feedback
Jeannerod, M. (Lyon, FRA)
Proprioceptive and visual feedback interactions for goal
directed movements
Roll, J.-P. (Marseille, FRA)
Contribution of skeletal and extra-ocular proprioception for
kinesthetic representation
Forget, R. (Montreal, CND)
Postural adjustments and muscle synergies in the absence of
peripheral feedback
Paillard, J. (Marseille, FRA)
Contribution of proprioceptive information to human behavior
Bard, M., Fleury, M., & Teasdale, N. (Quebec, CND)
Role of cognition for movement control in the absence of
proprioceptive information
Kelso, S. (Boca Raton, USA)
Movement stability and coordination in the absence of
afferent information
