Are we in command of our motor acts?The popular belief holds that our conscious decisions are the direct causes of our actions. However, overwhelming evidence from neurosciences demonstrates that our actions are instead largely driven by brain processes that unfold outside of our consciousness. To study these brain processes, scientists have used a range of different functional brain imaging techniques and experimental protocols, such as subliminal priming. Here, we review recent advances in the field and propose a theoretical model of motor control that may contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
我们能控制自己的运动行为吗?一种流行的观点认为,我们有意识的决定是我们行为的直接原因。然而,神经科学的大量证据表明,我们的行为在很大程度上是由大脑在我们意识之外的过程驱动的。为了研究这些大脑过程,科学家们使用了一系列不同的功能性大脑成像技术和实验方案,例如潜意识启动。在这里,我们回顾了该领域的最新进展,并提出了一个运动控制的理论模型,该模型可能有助于更好地理解运动障碍(如帕金森病)的病理生理学。
