Inside the Brain of a Cadaver

The video explores the concept of muscle memory, emphasizing its neurological basis rather than physical storage in muscles. It discusses motor learning and development, highlighting the role of brain structures like the cerebrum, cerebellum, and basal ganglia in refining motor skills. The video explains how motor signals travel through the brain and spinal cord, and how practice enhances efficiency through myelination. Examples like LeBron James and guitar playing illustrate the importance of practice in developing muscle memory.
