Sensorimotor Function

Sensorimotor function refers to the brain and body's ability to process sensory information (like touch, sight, and sound) and coordinate appropriate physical responses. It involves sensory inputs that help us perceive our environment and motor outputs that allow us to move and interact with it effectively. For example, feeling heat and pulling your hand away or catching a ball are tasks governed by sensorimotor processes. This system ensures that we can respond accurately and efficiently to everyday stimuli, maintaining coordination, balance, and purposeful movement essential for daily functioning.
