Motor control is a branch of neuroscience that focuses on the mechanisms by which the brain and nervous system coordinate and regulate the movement of muscles. This field of study involves investigating how the brain sends signals to muscles to produce voluntary movements, how sensory information is processed to plan and execute movements, and how motor skills are acquired and refined through practice and learning. Motor control research is important for understanding and treating movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, and cerebral palsy, as well as enhancing performance in sports and rehabilitation settings.
