An exploration of the brain's ability to control movement through microcircuits, revealing the evolution and specialization of neural networks. The analogy of an orchestra is used to explain the coordination of motor circuits. The podcast discusses the interplay between different brain regions in movement control and the importance of adaptation in learning new behaviors.

Explore the intricate world of brain microcircuits and global brain function, including the evolutionary aspects of the nervous system. Discover the role of motor circuits in various behaviors like breathing and chewing. Learn about the major contributors to the motor system, such as CPGs, tectum, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. Delve into the complexities of the mid-brain and the significance of the Cerebellum in movement control and learning.
