Learning Reflexes in the Spinal Cord

Sensory system detects sudden movement forwards and as a reflex, it's learned to throw that leg out. This is all happening at the spinal level. Another example of this is a withdrawal reflex. You reach out towards a hot element on a stove, or you stand on a tack for instance. The reason your limb comes back so quickly is its spinal level processing. Now that finally gets us to walking. How does walking actually work? If you think about grabbing an apple, we talked about visual processing within the posterior pridal cortex. We talked about movement planning with the cerebellum and the pre motor cortex. And we talked about sending signals to the primary motor cortex, which finally allow
