This week, our topic was the study of how our movements are done and controlled by our brain.

I would think that this topic is the last thing to cover to give an overview of the brain. It was really interesting to know those different areas of our brain control different movements(simple and complex) and that our movements follow the idea ”ready, set, go”.
What made me wonder was the experiment of Rizzolatti about the mirror cells. Mirrors cells are activated when a person sees a movement that is similar to his. Does it mean that mirror cells have some kinds of connections to the part of the brain where the memory of those movements are held or are these mirrors cells the memory itself?
