Visual, auditory, and somatosensory input coverges on the ______ association cortex.
posterior parietal
A small area of frontal cortex called the frontal ______ plays a major role in the control of eye movement.
eye field
Contralateral neglect is often associated with large lesions of the right ______ lobe.
parietal
The secondary motor area that is just dorsal to the premotor cortex and is largely hidden from view on the medial surface of each hemisphere is the ______.
supplementary motor area
Most of the direct sensory input to the supplementary motor area comes from the ______ system.
somatosensory
The ______ prefrontal cortex seems to play an important role in initiating complex voluntary responses.
dorsolateral
Most of the direct sensory input to the premotor cortex comes from the ______ system.
visual
The ______ cortex is the main point of departure of motor signals from the cerebral cortex to lower levels of the sensorimotor hierarchy.
primary motor
The foot area of the motor homunculus is in the ______ fissure.
longitudinal
Although the ______ constitutes only 10% of the mass of the brain, it contains more than half of the brain’s neurons.
cerebellum
The ______ are part of neural loops that receive input from various cortical areas and transmit it back to various areas of motor cortex via the thalamus.
basal ganglia
Although both are considered to be motor structures, damage to the ______ and the ______ produces sensory, cognitive, and emotional changes.
cerebellum; basal ganglia
