Abstract
⺠Lesions of frontal lobe motor areas in Rhesus monkeys produce acute deficits in control of ipsilesional dexterous hand movements. ⺠Ipsilesional hand movement deficits do not persist beyond a few weeks post-lesion. ⺠Recovery allows the ipsilesional hand to perform better than in pre-lesion fine motor tests. ⺠Reduced transcallosal inhibition from the damaged motor cortex likely contributes to the improved ipsilesional fine motor skill.
