About
Daniel M. Corcos is a leading researcher in movement neuroscience, whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of motor control and its disruption in Parkinson’s disease. His research primarily focuses on the neural mechanisms of proprioception and the role of feedback control in voluntary movement. A key contribution is his investigation into how the brain shifts from velocity-based to position-based proprioceptive feedback during reaching movements, a finding that has advanced models of motor planning and execution. While his most-cited papers include a 2010 study on this temporal shift, Corcos has also made significant clinical contributions, notably challenging the common practice of excluding deep brain stimulation (DBS) patients from Parkinson’s studies. His 2023 paper argues that DBS should not be an automatic exclusion criterion, as it limits the generalizability of research findings. This work has important implications for clinical trial design. With a career spanning decades, Corcos has published extensively on motor learning, bradykinesia, and the effects of levodopa and DBS on movement, earning recognition for bridging basic motor control theory with practical clinical applications. His research continues to influence both rehabilitation science and neurology.
