Crossover

Hello my friends at EnglishForward. I need your kind help once more. Could you please tell me what "crossover" means in this paragraph? Thanks in advance.

It’s very uncommon for adults to show mirror movements. Those who do this find that they can’t move one side of the body without moving the other. Scientists have now discovered that a crossover exists. When the brain sends a message to the limbs to move, it sends it to both sides, instead of just one. Although very few people suffer from this difficulty, the knowledge gives an important clue for how the brain works to move the body

This refers to the neural signals sent to the body from the brain that tells the muscles to move- there is evidence that signals sent to one side of the body (even when the brain intends to only move that side) that some level of signal is also sent to the other side as well. This signal being sent to the opposite side of the body is known as crossover.
