Charlie Rose Brain Series: The Acting Brain

In this third episode of the Charlie Rose Brain Series, the group looks at the motor system which connects to the brain to produce the action of coordinate movement in the physical world. They discuss how movement is conducted in the nervous system in both conscious actions and reflexes. They also ponder the complexity of human movement and how robotics is far behind the human brain in this arena. Finally they discuss a few of the cases where this system of movement is damaged such as in stroke or in Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), and what are some of the latest findings for repairing or overcoming these types of damage to the brain's motor system.
