A member asked:
What organ handles most involuntary movement in the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The brain: The brain and central nervous system are generally responsible for voluntary and involuntary movements in the body. Twitching in muscles can be caused by a calcium deficiency and other causes. You must see a "neurologist", a specialist in nerve problems.
