and this pathway is important for the control of eye movements. Other outputs terminate in the red nucleus, inferior olive, hypothalamus, and midbrain tegmentum. There is an important projection to the peduncular-pontine nucleus (PPN), modulating locomotor activity (seeChap. 31, “Systems Desce...
Fundamental movement skills are gross and fine movement patterns; gross movement patterns involve large muscle groups and FMS involve the activation of smaller muscle groups. Gross motor skills are locomotor, object control, and stability skills (Clark and Metcalf (2002). Locomotor skills is a ...
Sensory signals reflexly stimulate relevant motor outputs concerned with homeostatic and locomotor control, and many enter our conscious awareness in the form of sensory perceptions. Motor systems in the brain also allow us to control voluntary movements through links with the cranial and spinal ...
Normal-weight obesity appears to be an extended diagnosis/syndrome associated with insufficient physical fitness levels and inadequate eating habits at least from school years. However, its relation to long term health parameters in pre-school children r
Translational neuroscience is intended as a holistic approach in the field of brain disorders, starting from the basic research of cerebral morphology and with the function of implementing it into clinical practice. This concept can be applied to the reh
