Ido Portal: The Science & Practice of Movement
Huberman Lab
The Neuroscience of Movement
Movement originates from deep within the neurocience of motor systems. There are motor neurons that trigger muscle contractions, but there is also the pre-motor system often overlooked in neuroscience. This pre-motor system sets the stage for movement patterns to emerge, always anticipating movement. It's like a layer of neurons constantly humming, ready to be released for smooth or ballistic movements. Movement occurs by releasing these gates, with all the information pre-existing. There is a feeling of dancing within the possibilities, with a sense of stability and power emerging from the potential for movement. This sensation of movement is a result of practice, preventing stagnation and allowing for focused attention in conversations. The ability to tune in and stay focused during interactions is a rare but valuable skill, serving as a personal trick for engaging effectively.
