Disease control refers to public health efforts to reduce the number of new infections, the number of people who are currently infected, and the number of people who become sick and/or die from a disease.
Sensorimotor integration is important for the acquisition and performance of motor skills. Here,we show the emergence of neuroplastic changes in the interactions between the motor andsomatose...
