Document Summary
Lecture 14: modulation of movement: cerebellum and basal ganglia. Overall organization of neural structures that control movement. Midline musculature more responsive to postural control and distal musculature are under lateral motorneurons from lateral pathways to do with skilled, dexterous movements. Basal ganglia can pick out sub routine of the action and stringing them together to make single goal directed movements. Diseases that effect the basal ganglia leave patients with inability to do what it is that they want to do and that they can do. Parki(cid:374)so(cid:374)(cid:859)s disease motor symptoms related such as slow movement or bradykinesia: cannot get up off chair, but with help, they can. Cerebral cortex and basal ganglia are not separable. all of the cerebral cortex has connection with the basal ganglia back through the thalamus and then the cerebral cortex again. Cerebral cortex is layers of neurons some of which are connecting through the basal ganglion and thalamus back to the cortex.
