Q

What does the supplementary motor cortex?

A
  • Postural Control

Q

What does the primary motor cortex do?

A
  • Controls specific movements of the body to reach goal
    • Fine motions have high representation

Q

What does layer 5 of the primary motor cortex do?

A
  • Output for corticopsinal tracts: axons will travel down spinal cord (UMN)
  • If axons synpase with alpha motor neuorns, they are known as pre-motor neurons

Q

How are columns organized in the primary motor cortex?

A

Neighboring columns have similar motions

  • Also agonist/antagonist columns are nearby each other

Q

What does F4 do?

How does it do it?

How does the F4 region create a detailed map of the space around you?

A

Create a detail map about the space around self.

Neurons in F4 are excited by proximity: more activity the closer the desired object is

Q

Where does the super parietal cortex send information to?

What information is it sending?

A

F2 area of the pre-motor cotex

Visual information about where your arm is in space

17
Q

What does the F2 area do?

A

Creates a map about the location of arm in relationship with body and objects around self

18
Q

What actions are the anterior intraparietal area and PFG of the parietal cortex responsive to?

A

Seeing an object and grasping it

19
Q

Where does PFG/Anterior intraparietal area relay their information to?

A

F5 of the pre-motor cortex

20
Q

What does the F5 area do?

A

Respond to goal of the action

(Intended goal: to drink the tea, how it is held is not important)

21
Q

What are the functions of the spinocerebellum?

A
  • Vermis: Postural Control
  • Paravermis: Force and direction
    • Correct ongoing motions and control ballistic motions
22
Q

What are the functions of the cerebrocerebellum?

A

Plan complex motions and sequencing them

23
Q

What are the functions of the vestibulocerebellum?

A

Balance/eye movements

24

  • Output: Interpositus and Fastigial Nuclei to rubrospinal tract
26
Q

What are the inputs and outputs to the paravermis of the spinocerebellum?

A
  • Input: Efferent copy (what berrain sends to muscle) and muscle afferent

  • Output: Dentate nucleus back to cortex
28
Q

What are the inputs and outputs of the vestibuloocerebellum?

A
  • Input: Vestibular Apparatus

A

Activate

Inactivate

30
Q

To make motion occur, what is the brain’s action on muscle spindles in the antagonist muscle?

A

Inhibits alpha-motor neurons and gamma-motor neurons
