Riassunto
“I circuiti neuronali dell’encefalo determinano il comportamento ponendo in essere l’esecuzione di movimenti differenti e di movimenti complessi che consentono all’organismo di raggiungere determinati obbiettivi. Le proiezioni discendenti dalla cortex motrice” e il tronco dell’encefalo “costituiscono i canali attraverso cui i messaggi che in ultimo saranno tradotti in movimenti e movimenti complessi sono trasmessi agli organi effettori, ovvero al complesso di neuroni motori e muscoli” ([119]). Gli studi anatomici e funzionali di Kuypers, condotti nell’uomo e nei primati non umani nella seconda metà del secolo scorso, hanno posto le fondamenta per le attuali conoscenze relative al controllo motorio. Questi concetti sono stati modificati e ampliati riguardo all’organizzazione della cortex motrice e premotrice (rassegna critica di Matelli e coll. [139]), all’anatomia funzionale dei sistemi motori sottocorticali (vedi anche i Capp. 17 e 22), e al contributo del sistema limbico e dell’ipotalamo al controllo del moto (analisi critica di Holstege e coll. [103]).
