Red, theory; black, fact.

Please find above a revised version of the motor control theory presented in the last blog. The revision was necessitated by the fact that there is no logical reason why a motor command cannot go to both sides of the body at once to produce a mid line-symmetrical movement. The prediction is that mid-line-symmetrical movements are acquired one side at a time whenever the controlling corticofugal pathway allows the two sides to move independently.
