How does individuality play a role?

Submitted by Sarah Tabi on Sun, 03/29/2009 - 2:59pm.
With all of this discussion regarding different aspects of our nervous system such as reafferent loops, basal ganglia, motor cortex, etc., what causes individuality in behavior?  I think that one of the major foundations of behavior is the fact that every person is inherently different, therefore their behavior is different.  What we covered so far in our discussions are our body's responses to various external and internal inputs/outputs.  But my question is, how would uniqueness come into play with understanding more about the motor aspect of our nervous system?
