Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The roles of the basal nuclei and the cerebellum in motor coordination and learned motor skills.

Introduction:

The muscle is controlled by the mechanistic actions of the cerebellum and basal nuclei. The basal nuclei help in the beginning of some movements (like walking and some learned behaviors). The cerebellum helps in the motor coordination of smooth muscles, other muscles, and some joints, by acting as a comparator in the brain.
