Q

what neurons within the PM help prep for movement

A

motor set neurons

37
Q

what neurons within the PM signal various sensory aspects associated with motor actions

where perception and action integrate

39
Q

where are mirror neurons NOT found

A

occipital lobe

40
Q

what pathways do mirror neurons integrate and what are the functions

sensorimotor pathway- learning movement
emotion pathway- self and social cognition

41
Q

what happens if the mirror neurons are not integrated on these pathways and not integrated into daily life

A

autism spectrum disorder

42
Q

What and where is the closed loop

A

reliance on external cues
down top
PM

43
Q

how does the closed loop work in the PM

A

distinguishes the same movement based on behavioral context

uses motor imagery and mirror neurons

44
Q

when is PM most active

A

if the object is heavier= more S1 activation= more PM

if object is lighter= less S1 activation = less PM

45
Q

what is apraxia

A

can not perform skilled or learned movements with intact sensory and motor

mirror neurons connection are lost (sensorimotor pathway)

46
Q

what is ideational apraxia

A

loss of action sequencing
knows the tool but not how to use it

47
Q

what is ideomotor apraxia

A

knows how to perform the activity but can not perform it

48
Q

what is limb-kinetic apraxia

A

unable to make precise, independent but coordinated movement

49
Q

why is it mostly related to L PM and posterior parietal cortex

A

L posterior parietal = praxis and language function compromised

PM= functions of behavioral context, mirror neurons for sensorimotor and emotion pathway compromised

3 symmetrical concentric, spaced by 3 cognitive control regions

52
Q

how do UMN work in motor control

A

control motion patterns not a single muscle contraction

Q

how does S1 and M1 distribution differ

A

S1 is strict

M1 is gradient distribution due to pattern of activities
