Document Summary
Neurolgia provide nourishment and protection of the neurons. Feedback and feed forward, the brain predicts actions. Association areas integrate different information for purposeful action. Behaviour is all mediate through the motor system. A lot of sub movements use the same parts of the nervous system. Reach hot element, get response and movement away, re ex Same re ex uses rhyming motor patterns, need initiation and termination of conscious brain. Allows them or cognitive areas to let go, don"t control everything and micromanage. They monitor or initiate something but motor pattern takes over Many muscles coordinated with many joints, many receptors, many neurons all interconnected. Have to take into account body mass, and position in space and any interference. Mechanical properties of muscles, re exes, bones and joints. In order to perform goal directed movements, continuous ow of sensory info interact with environment, have to select appropriate response and adjust as needed.
