Cerebral Cortex, Basal Ganglia, and Cerebellum: Parallel Circuits

摘要: As shown in Chaps. 48–50, the spinal cord and brainstem supply basic autogenous central pattern generators a large battery of local feedback mechanisms to take care “low-level” control problems. However, least automatic, voluntary movements [50] have be initiated designed repeatedly, depending on their goal, context initial conditions. The organization movement therefore requires close cooperation diverse functions, from attentional motivational processes through perception preparation execution motor act itself, thus essentially involving entire forebrain [21]. After initiating impulses for been accepted by cerebral association cortices, its preparation, planning programming design appropriate commands are common task “higher” centers encompassing three complexes: cortex, basal ganglia cerebellum. In primates, lower depend precise finegrained instructions these higher centers.
