Sex differences in recovery of motor function in a rhesus monkey model of cortical injury

Sex differences in recovery of motor function in a rhesus monkey model of cortical injury

Highlights Aged female and male rhesus monkeys were trained on a fine motor task before undergoing surgery to produce a lesion to the hand area representation of the primary motor cortex Aged female monkeys returned to pre-operative latency and grasp patterns faster than aged males after cortical in...
