It is the ability to acquire & learn new skills within the central nervous system (cns) New neural connections are being formed; motor neurons are running down the axons (repetition) This plasticity slowly deteriorates as the person gets older and it affects the person"s ability to acquire & learn new skills. A technique used in behavourial neuroscience, combination of techniques (optics & genetics), to control the activity of individual neurons in the living tissue (light to activate nerves) These fibers are important because they tell the central nervous system the location of the limb in perspective to the rest of the body. It is a disease to not feel the stretch. Motor learning and control defined: motor learning. A set of internal processes associated with practice or experience leading to relatively permanent gain in performance capability. This is a learning effect that coaches a primary tactic, while the performance effect is temporary (learning benefit vs.
