Sensorimotor integration Flashcards
1
Q
what are bi-directional sensorimotor interactions?
A
sensory inputs during movement must adjust the motor output rapdily in face of novel sensory informaiton
so, muscles movements etc controlled by motor system
2
Q
what is browns half centre model and what is it for
A
for locomotion rhythm generation
axial CPGs are on left and right sides of body
3
Q
what are two types of sensory inputs which trigger a reflex
A
proprioceptive - predictable, from muscle spindles
extroceptive- not predictable, touch receptors on skin
4
Q
what are two possible sites for reflex modulation
A
motor neurons
sensory interneurons
5
Q
what is an example of entrainment
A
horse on a treadmill
