Investigating various parts of the nervous system to model motion

The motion control system involves a complex network of structures that are observed at all levels of the central nervous system. Different parts of the brain, especially the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum, and basal ganglia, have an important role in the motion system. Motion commands are transmitted through the motor neurons in the spinal cord to the muscles and motion organs. At the level of the spinal cord, some control operations are performed on the motion system, such as reflexes and adjustment of motor neuron coefficients. The harmonious and complex movements that require skill are performed through the circuits that exist between the cortex, the basal ganglia, and the cerebellum. In this study, we examine the factors affecting movement and describe the role of each item in a specialized way.
