Document Summary
Job1: translate intention to perform a movement into motor control signals. Job 2 : transmit motor control signals from brain to muscles. Efference= control signals from brain to working muscles (descending motor. Left side of brain controls right side vice versa. Set up and control posture of the body. Job 3: monitor sensory information generated by the movement which travels back to the brain to report on the accuracy of the movement. Afference: all sensory information reaching the brain(ascending sensory pathway) Left side of the body sends info to the right side of the brain. Provide sensory information about location and movement of the body[ Much proprioceptive information is not consciously perceived and processed at lower levels of the cns.

A specific location on the cortex corresponds to a specific region of the
