Motor control is the process by which humans and animals use their brain and nervous system to activate and coordinate muscles and limbs involved in the performance of a motor skill. It involves complex interactions between neural circuits, sensory feedback, and motor commands to produce smooth, purposeful movements.

Human Brain

The nervous system is a complex network of neurons and supporting cells that transmits signals throughout the body, enabling coordination of actions and sensory information. It is divided into the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which connects the rest of the body to the central nervous system.

Neural circuits are networks of interconnected neurons that process specific types of information and generate responses in the nervous system. They are fundamental to understanding how the brain functions, influencing everything from sensory perception to complex behaviors.

Sensory feedback is the process by which sensory systems provide information to the brain about the external environment and the body's interaction with it, enabling adaptive responses and motor control. It plays a crucial role in learning, coordination, and maintaining balance by continuously updating the central nervous system about changes and discrepancies between expected and actual sensory inputs.
