Document Summary
Monosynaptic stretch reflex: 1 synapse, about 50 ms. Polysynaptic stretch reflex and phase-dependent modulation: not on the exam. Principle of inverse effectiveness: not on the exam. Lecture 1: nothing except for reaching and grasping. Lecture 2: anatomy of a neuron, mechanics of the action potential. Lecture 4: differences between generator potential and action potential. Lecture 5: reaction time, response time, movement time. Lecture 6: speed accuracy trade-off, difference between feedforward and feedback. Lecture 9: open vs closed loop, efferent copy/corollary discharge, motor schema (generalized motor programs), invariants/flexible parameters. Lecture 10: types of balance control, com vs cop, adaptable hierarchy. Lecture 11: difference between fixed and change in support, ankle vs hip strategies. Lecture 12: basics about psychophysics (lab 4 content) Lecture 13: ppc, homonculus, motor cortex, transferring coordinates. Lecture 14: dual stream hypothesis, visual agnosia, optic ataxia, spatial neglect, saccades (timing from graphs) Lecture 15: invariants, brain areas for reaching/grasping, cerebellum, basal ganglia.
