In this episode of Podcast or Perish, I speak with Prof. Lauren Sergio, a neuroscientist at York University’s School of Kinesiology and Health Science. Her research examines how the brain plans and executes complex movements, combining insights from sports science and neurology. We talk about her studies of athletes, aging populations, and people recovering from brain injuries, and what her findings reveal about neuroplasticity and motor learning.
