  2. Proprioception and motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception_and_Motor...

    This feedback allows for more fine control of movement. In the brain, proprioceptive integration occurs in the somatosensory cortex, and motor commands are generated in the motor cortex. In the spinal cord, sensory and motor signals are integrated and modulated by motor neuron pools called central pattern generators (CPGs).

  3. Motor cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_cortex

    The motor cortex can be divided into three areas: 1. The primary motor cortex is the main contributor to generating neural impulses that pass down to the spinal cord and control the execution of movement. However, some of the other motor areas in the brain also play a role in this function.

  4. Neural adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_adaptation

    Studies in children with early childhood brain injuries have shown that neural adaptations slowly occur after the injury. [28] Children with early injuries to the linguistics, spatial cognition and affective development areas of the brain showed deficits in those areas as compared to those without injury. Due to neural adaptations, however, by ...

  5. Motor learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_learning

    Motor learning refers broadly to changes in an organism's movements that reflect changes in the structure and function of the nervous system. Motor learning occurs over varying timescales and degrees of complexity: humans learn to walk or talk over the course of years, but continue to adjust to changes in height, weight, strength etc. over ...

  6. Piaget's theory of cognitive development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaget's_theory_of...

    Assimilation is how humans perceive and adapt to new information. It is the process of fitting new information into pre-existing cognitive schemas. [18] Assimilation in which new experiences are reinterpreted to fit into, or assimilate with, old ideas and analyzing new facts accordingly. [19]

  7. Motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control

    Noise. Noise is defined as small fluctuations that are unrelated to a signal, which can occur in neurons and synaptic connections at any point from sensation to muscle contraction. Delays. Motor neuron activity precedes muscle contraction, which precedes the movement. Sensory signals also reflect events that have already occurred.

  8. Motor coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_coordination

    In physiology, motor coordination is the orchestrated movement of multiple body parts as required to accomplish intended actions, like walking. This coordination is achieved by adjusting kinematic and kinetic parameters associated with each body part involved in the intended movement.

  9. Motor system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_system

    The motor system is the set of central and peripheral structures in the nervous system that support motor functions, i.e. movement. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Peripheral structures may include skeletal muscles and neural connections with muscle tissues. [ 2 ]
