Neural Control of Movement

Create a product (animated,cartoon,movie,creative short story,comic,etc) that explains how each of the following key ideas allows, or is part of, a specific movement of your choice. The following are not in any order and in fact, all of them are very much interrelated. Grading will be: 3 pts/each topic for content, 1 pt/each topic for a visual diagram, plus 3 pts. For the studies for a total of 27 pts.

• CNS & PNS (how they communicate/work together to allow movement(components of reflex arc))
• Motor unit’s (all components) role in movement
• Twitch characteristics (fast vs. slow twitch) specific to motor units
• Motor Unit plasticity/recruitment
• Neuromuscular fatigue
• How the quality of movement is influenced by motivation/emotion
• (include 3 studies that relate to any of the information in your product)
