Abstract
All biological systems work on the principles of oscillatory dynamics and optimization. There is always a range in which the system works. For instance, the heart beats at a range of 70-80 times per minute, the lungs inflate and deflate at a rate of 14-18 times per minute. Every joint moves few degrees on either side of a particular axis optimally. The eyeballs also move in an oscillatory range covering the surrounding field of vision. In the same manner the neurological learning also occurs in an optimal limit by increasing or decreasing the quantity of the neurotransmitter in the various synapses, thus strengthening or weakening the pathways. There is a lot of synaptic pruning occurring in the neural development to define the definite sensory and motor pathways. Majority of the neural control is attained in the childhood itself by motor learning behaviors. In adults, most of the motor activity becomes intrinsic and stereotyped.
