Neuroplasticity

The result of this discovery was that if the axon of cell A fires repeatedly in close proximity to cell B that the strength of the connection will be increased therefore making it a successful link. Hence the term “neurons that fire together wire together”

Somatosensory System and Movement Pt. 2

Since everything we think and do are intimately woven, the parietal lobes are interconnected with the prefrontal cortex (where the motor cortex resides) and together these regions make up the highest order of movement integration in our body.

Somatosensory System and Movement Pt 1

The primary somatosensory cortex receives the information from these receptors, but the secondary somatosensory cortex processes and stores it. Injury or disease can occur at either of the two.

Upbringing vs neural development

There is evidence that links movement to memory and if the individual expresses joy when in movement, the memory will be retained. That being said, we use our memory of the past to guide our future decisions, but how can we go back and change our memory to a more positive one to encourage movement for the future?

The Brain in Motion

If you think of us as humans, our behaviours, our choices, our passions all require movement. But each and every thing we do requires a complex set of motor activations that are linked with one another to execute the behaviour. It all happens in a nanosecond.

Implicit vs Explicit Memories

Pause for a second and think of your favourite activity and then connect it with how you feel when you’re doing it. Procedural memory is intimately connected to our emotions via neural pathways.

Movement and Memory

Memory is a theoretical construct that explains current behaviours by referencing them to events that happened in the past. Memory is basically how we function everyday. We don’t wake up every day and have to re-learn how to walk, how to dress ourselves, how to brush our teeth. This is cemented, it is learned.
