One of the major goals of neuroscience is to understand how the brain makes movement; and one of the goals of neurology is to understand how the processes fall apart in different movement disorders. A good way to start the analysis of this set of problems is to analyse movement itself, from the bottom up. There are many degrees of freedom of the body and movements could be accomplished in many different ways. As central nervous systems have evolved they have certainly taken certain directions … ER -
