Motor Engrams

WHAT ARE MOTOR ENGRAMS?

A motor engram is nothing more than a set of instructions stored in the brain. These instructions tell the body how to perform a specific movement. When a young child first tries to throw a ball, their body does not know how to perform the movement skill. As the child tries again and again to throw the ball the body learns/remembers how to perform the movement. This set of instructions, or motor engram, is stored in the brain. The next time the child needs to throw a ball, the brain can quickly access the motor engram and tell the body how to quickly and efficiently perform the movement without having to re-learn it.
