In the picture
- The bright patches at the front of the brain: where a movement is planned and adjusted
- The pale light along the pathway to the arm: a weak link where the signal does not pass smoothly
- The upper-arm muscle: it pulls the arm forward to release the ball
Examples
- Tying shoelaces can take many tries.
- Catching a ball may feel like the hand closes a moment too late.
Key takeaways
- The muscles are usually healthy; what differs is the planning and timing of movement.
- With practice and extra time, the brain can learn other routes for movement.
