Encoding of motor commands

Encoding of motor commands refers to how the brain translates intentions into specific signals that guide muscle movements. When you decide to move, your brain activates neural pathways that generate precise instructions, which are then sent via the nervous system to your muscles. These signals specify details like which muscles to activate, the intensity, and timing needed for smooth and coordinated movement. Essentially, motor command encoding is the process by which your brain converts your movement goals into detailed, actionable messages that your body can execute accurately and efficiently.
