The Importance of Central Pattern Generators in Controlling Movement
05:05 - 17:32 (12:27)
The central pattern generators, also known as CPGs, control the rhythmic patterns of movement and are essential in activities such as walking. Exercise is beneficial for overall health, but it does not directly facilitate plasticity without specific actions.

The central pattern generators or CPGs are responsible for controlling the repetitive movements in our body like walking, and they send signals to the lower motor neurons to control the muscles, while the upper motor neurons send specific signals to guide movement.

Summary
This podcast discusses the behaviors that can be engaged in to access neuroplasticity for the purpose of improving learning and memory, including those for those who have experienced traumatic brain injury or dementia. It emphasizes that exercise alone does not open plasticity unless coupled with certain actions, and highlights the potential benefits of leveraging neuroplasticity to change emotional experiences, belief systems, and specific skills like math and language.
