Upper motor neuron signs are thought to be most common in human adults over the age of 50‚ with a peak incidence of 55 to 65 years of age. The UMN deficits are more prevalent as one goes up the primate phylogenetic scale with incidents higher in chimps‚ who share 95% of the human genome with Homo sapiens. Motor neurons are greater in numbers 40‚000‚ in humans as compared to the great apes which lack greater numbers. Upper motor neuron signs would be one of my experimental variables‚ lower motor
