neurology of movement

The neurology of movement involves how the brain and nervous system plan, initiate, and control body movements. It primarily includes areas like the motor cortex (which sends commands), the cerebellum (which coordinates and smooths movements), and the basal ganglia (which help start and stop movements). Signals travel through nerves to muscles, instructing them when and how to move. Proper functioning of these systems ensures smooth, purposeful actions, while issues can lead to movement problems, such as tremors, weakness, or paralysis. Together, these parts work seamlessly to produce coordinated movement and adapt to changing tasks.
