Abstract

Involuntary movements result from disturbed feedback control in several loops in the brain and spinal cord. Among them, the motor loop controls motor output by adjusting the sensory input relevant to the task intended. Parkinson's disease is caused by abnormal scaling, and dystonia being related to abnormal sensorimotor matching in motor control.
