Summary Introduction
To determine: The parts of the brain that are involved in adjusting how hard a person hits the ball, keep the movement of body parts correctly, watch the ball, and repeat these actions after verifying that the swing is successful.
Introduction: Brain is one of the largest and the central organ of the human nervous system. It is made of more than hundred billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections known as synapses.
