Same signal simultaneously processed; variation of functions. Brain function divided into various processing levels. Level: lowest of perception & action hierarchy. Function: initial reception of info, somatosensory info process, motor neurons & motor control. Simple sensory input motor output relationship. Motor neurons = last process level before muscle activation (aka final. Contains nuclei; important for postural control and locomotion. Control output to neck, face, eyes critical for hearing and taste. Ascending & descending pathways transmit sensory and motor info to cns. Somatosensory input from head muscles and skin.
