  2. Nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system

    Induction of neural tissues causes formation of neural precursor cells, called neuroblasts. [78] In Drosophila, neuroblasts divide asymmetrically, so that one product is a "ganglion mother cell" (GMC), and the other is a neuroblast. A GMC divides once, to give rise to either a pair of neurons or a pair of glial cells.

  3. Brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain

    The muscle coordination learned while riding a bicycle is an example of a type of neural plasticity that may take place largely within the cerebellum. [ 8 ] 10% of the brain's total volume consists of the cerebellum and 50% of all neurons are held within its structure.

  4. Interlimb coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlimb_coordination

    Interlimb coordination is the coordination of the left and right limbs. It could be classified into two types of action: bimanual coordination and hands or feet coordination. Such coordination involves various parts of the nervous system and requires a sensory feedback mechanism for the neural control of the limbs.

  5. Motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control

    All organisms face the computational challenges above, so neural circuits for motor control have been studied in humans, monkeys, [10] horses, cats, [11] mice, [12] fish [13] lamprey, [14] flies, [15] locusts, [16] and nematodes, [17] among many others. Mammalian model systems like mice and monkeys offer the most straightforward comparative ...

  6. Neuromorphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromorphology

    Neuromorphology (from Greek νεῦρον, neuron, "nerve"; μορφή, morphé, "form"; -λογία, -logia, “study of” [1] [2]) is the study of nervous system ...

  7. Central pattern generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_pattern_generator

    Central pattern generators (CPGs) are self-organizing biological neural circuits [1] [2] that produce rhythmic outputs in the absence of rhythmic input. [3] [4] [5] They are the source of the tightly-coupled patterns of neural activity that drive rhythmic and stereotyped motor behaviors like walking, swimming, breathing, or chewing.

  8. Kinesiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesiology

    A series of images that represent research (left) and practice (right) in the field of academic kinesiology. Kinesiology (from Ancient Greek κίνησις (kínēsis) 'movement' and -λογία-logía 'study of') is the scientific study of human body movement.

  9. Psychomotor learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychomotor_learning

    Psychomotor learning is the relationship between cognitive functions and physical movement.Psychomotor learning is demonstrated by physical skills such as movement, coordination, manipulation, dexterity, grace, strength, speed—actions which demonstrate the fine or gross motor skills, such as use of precision instruments or tools, and walking.
