Cerebral Palsy maybe/maybe not

Building a library of experience expectation is what childhood and play is all about. It takes time to get skill and to make what is difficult... familiar. Actual physical stuff has to be swapped or added to what is there. But cats? Here’s our back door which is their front door. You can send no intention signals to their muscles at all. Cats rather just send the intended

result to the spindles which then reflexively patterned do it all. They, via a very rich built-in INHERITED cat library, execute it PERFECTLY. Fast and precise but only what was put there by DNA. You can’t teach old dogs new tricks? Mmm? OK. You can’t teach any cats any tricks. “CAT-like” We kind of knew this already, behavior wise. This is the underpinning. These patterned movements are many but aimed squarely at hunting and survival. People do not have this incredible library of total body automatic genetically practiced moves. But we do have some. Our collection is used to supply obviously needed postural changes to support ongoing intended actions. An arm extended backward as balance for the forward reaching hand? Leg shift? Both?

But what if our main pyramidal do-it path can’t and is not doing it?
