Lecture 18 - Cortical contributions to movement Flashcards
name the 2 motor areas in the frontal lobe
premotor cortex and M1
at which sulcus is the primary motor cortex located at?
central sulcus
when do neurons in M1 modulate their activity in regards to movement?
before and during movement
which artery branches off the internal carotid into the brain and if blocked can cause a stroke?
superior medial cerebral artery
name the 4 secondary motor areas
premotor cortex, supplementary motor area, cingulate cortex, cingulate motor areas
name the 4 higher functions carried out by secondary motor areas?
bimanual movements, movement preparation, grip, movement observation
name 3 other areas in the brain which are also involved in controlling movements that are not the M1
