Motor co-ordination

True. Alcohol impairs judgement and motor co-ordination and leads to many accidents, in the home, on the roads and elsewhere. 

True. Alcohol and many other drugs can affect judgement and motor co-ordination, and may make the user overly confident. These effects can make a user much more likely to have or cause an accident. 

They are involved in the initiation of motor plans and motor co-ordination. 

Amygdala An anatomically coherent subsystem within the basal forebrain. Verbal and non-verbal expressions of fear and anger are interpreted by the amygdala. Cerebellum One of the seven parts of the brain that is responsible for muscle co-ordination and modulation of the force and range of movement. It is involved in the learning of motor skills. 

A model 6R Bico vertical grinder, equipped with a 220/240V three phase motor, was used in all studies. The grinding system was modified to incorporate a custom-designed hopper, hopper cover, sample-cup holder and cleaning jets, which were all co-ordinated by the Zymate II central controller. 

The ICH guideline lists assessment of the effects of the test compound on motor activity, behavioural changes, co-ordination and sensory/motor reflex responses. A so-called functional observation battery or Irwin s battery will cover these parameters. Effects on body temperature should also be measured.

It has been suggested, perhaps thoughtlessly, that dispersion of slippery viscous agents in the direction of rioters would impair their co-ordinated movements and make it difficult for them to undertake malicious tasks. However, not only would there be the likelihood for uncontrolled physical accidents, but also problems in the control of motorized vehicles in the area, including those of the security forces. Additionally, in public areas, there would be a need for prompt street decontaminations by environmentally acceptable methods. 

Marihuana, A -THC and THC analogues actually induce a variety of neurological effects in normal animals, usually manifested as alterations of motor function and altered locomotor activity, impaired co-ordination and balance, decreased muscle tone and reflexes and, at very high doses, tremors, myoclonic jerks, and convulsions. CBD is very considerably less potent than A -THC in producing these abnormalities [53-56],... 

Workers in the chloralkaH industry were formerly occupationally exposed to mercury vapour. An increased frequency of intention tremors (time weighted average (TWA) of 0.026 mg/m ) was found in workers who inhaled mercury vapour for an average of 26 years. Neurobehavioural effects (motor speed, visual scanning, co-ordination and concentration) were affected in individuals with a TWA of 0.014 mg/m while workers exposed to an average of... 

The concurrent use of fluoxetine 30 to 60 mg and alcohol (4 oz of whiskey) did not affect the pharmacokinetics of either drugs in healthy subjects, and fluoxetine did not alter the effect of alcohol on psychomotor activity (stability of stance, motor performance, manual co-ordination). Similarly, blood-alcohol levels of 80 mg% impaired the performance of a number of psychomotor tests in 12 healthy subjects, but the addition of fluoxetine 40 mg daily taken for 6 days before the alcohol had little further effect. Another study also found no change in the performance of a number of psychophysiological tests when fluoxetine was combined with alcohol. No problems were found in a study of 20 alcohol-dependent patients taking fluoxetine 60 mg daily when they drank alcohol, or in approximately 31 patients taking fluoxetine 20 mg daily who drank unspecified small quantities of alcohol. ...

Greg j oined Year 10 at Meadow HiU fiom PMS at the same time as Mike (see above). He is a sociable, talkative fourteen year-old with a wide vocabulary for his age (not always used appropriately ). He has no problems with mobUity but finds some other sorts of co-ordination, both gross and fine motor, difticult. This affects his handwriting and his ability to carry out some sporting and technology activities. He also has some difticulties with literacy and numeracy. 

Simple motor speed and co-ordination, simple reaction time, and two-handed coordination. 

The factor analysis revealed that the tests covered six major areas attention. involuntary control of motor functions, stability of behavior, co-ordination, reaction time, and intelligence. The factor with the highest loading on the accident criterion was the attention factor, followed by involuntary control of motor functions, stability and adaptability of behavior. Negative aspects associated with the accidents were insecurity, tension, and neuroticism.
