About
Dr. Aaron L. Wong is a leading researcher in motor control and cognitive neuroscience, with a focus on how the brain learns, plans, and executes skilled movements. His work centers on the roles of proprioception and sensory feedback in motor learning, particularly in the context of neurological disorders. Dr. Wong’s most cited paper, “Proprioception-based movement goals support imitation and are disrupted in apraxia,” demonstrates a key contribution: showing that imitation relies on proprioceptive—not just visual—goals, and that damage to this system underlies limb apraxia, a common post-stroke disorder. This work bridges basic sensorimotor science with clinical neurology, offering new insights into rehabilitation. With over 1,000 citations across his publications, Dr. Wong’s research has shaped understanding of how the brain uses body-based signals to guide action. His achievements include receiving the NIH Pathway to Independence Award and publishing in top journals like *Current Biology* and *The Journal of Neuroscience*. For students and researchers, Dr. Wong’s work is essential for grasping the neural foundations of movement and the mechanisms of motor disorders.
