Document Summary
Divisions of lateral hemisphere: front lobe doing, parietal lobe senses; taking in information, occipital lobe vision, temporal lobe meaning memory, routing information. Cerebellum: the little brain optimization: more neurons than the rest of the brain put together, enables the optimization of complex motor movement via the motor. These longer-lasting improvements require practice: a lot of folds to keep more gray matter surface area, optimizes all muscle movements muscle coordination, language, reactions to emotional stimuli. How have you learned motor movements in the past. If you have a specialization (soccer, dance, yoga, etc). How lateralized is motor learning: you have to work both sides of the body when learning so the neural network travels to both sides of the body. How is this skill represented in the brain over time/practice: brain does so much background high level things that we take for granted.
